WordPress is a complex and one of the most popular CMS platforms in use today. Due to those facts as well as the nature of the internet, security is a high priority and should be well planned and executed taking into account many factors from access and functionality to speed and SEO.

This event will touch on some basic ideas about securing sites before diving into more complex options and settings. We will discuss SSL and why you should implement HSTS. We will also discuss htaccess files and their place in the environment.
