Listen "158 – Keeping WordPress secure with Ryan Dewhurst from WPScan"
Episode Synopsis
Who wants a hacked website. Anyone... anyone... Bueller! No? It's something that nobody wants, to wake up to discover that your WordPress website(s) have been breached and that unexpected things are now happening. Perhaps it's benign, but it might be serious. Data has been downloaded and you've got to spend time ameliorating the situation. Ryan Dewhurst is on the podcast today to chat through the WordPress security landscape. What people hack, what they gain and how the good guys are fighting back and trying to provide useful information to help us all stay safe. Ryan is behind WPScan, the WPScan Vulnerability Database and WPScan.io, all tools which enable you to stay up-to-date with the latest information about WordPress security. It's been a labour of love for a long time, and he's dedicated many, many hours so that you and I can sleep well at night. Great guy and a great episode...
