DrupalCon Dublin 2016: Drupal Security: There is a Mini-DrupalGeddon
Channel: Drupal Association
Date: 27/09/2016

DrupaGeddon taught us all a very important lesson: security is not a state, it's a process, and when it hits, the damage is swift and sweeping. 

The first attacks started about seven hours after the Drupal security team released the Drupal Core security patch. Sites which weren’t upgraded immediately were all at risk. Many sites still haven’t been upgraded and are ticking time-bombs. 

The Drupal security team releases updates every Wednesday, but even then, preparing for and installing patches can take up a significant amount of your team’s development time. 

Luckily, there’s a solution. It’s called automation and it's already available to use. 

In this session, we will share how we’ve learned to tackle Drupal security: 

How the Drupal security patch release process works 
How to know when a new security patch is released
Which tools we use to automate this process
Why your Drupal hosting partner is a vital part of this process
