Watch the video of this podcast here. Dre’s passion for security and educating people about risk and prevention clearly translates in his delivery of information and strategies in his discussion with Kristina.Let's Begin With Some Dre- Stats: There are 1.1 billion active websites on the internet today 33 percent are powered by some sort of CMS (so there is a lot of vulnerable code out there) 73 percent of this 33 percent are powered by 4 platforms specifically - Drupal, Magento, WordPress, and Joomla Over 47 percent of the companies running websites on their own have no way of tracking open source code. They aren't updating or changing components in an intuitive way, using correct standardsWhat Does This Mean for Us as Wordpress Consultants? This is an opportunity for us to increase the longevity of our client relationship. We can help them grow their site and increase the return on their initial investment through on going work. Dre sees a website as a living organism that actually comes to life the moment it goes into production. It's, therefore, part of your role to encourage the growth and productivity of that living organism. There's more to it than making it, handing it over and leaving it.What Do We Need to Know as Wordpress Consultants? As a consultant, you need to be all over - People, Processes and Technology. You need to make sure that you have controls in place by implementing specific processes. Doing things like: Updating software in a timely manner (Outdated software is responsible for the majority of attacks) Checking on the updates of web server software, databases, 3rd party plugins, and hosting providers Looking at how your clients log into the website (FTP) Thinking more holistically: go beyond thinking just about WordPress. Look at how are we connecting, passing files, interacting, passing on data, passwords and misconfiguration of plugins. The list goes on! Dre suggests using tools to help you do this in layers. Like the layers of an onion, if one gets peeled away, there’s another layer under it, protecting the centre. Basically, make sure everything is segmented to protect the client against infection and reinfection. “Soup Kitchen Servers” Dre coined this term to describe a server that has everything, including the kitchen sink contained in it. The server has no segmentation, which puts it at huge risk of cross contamination - whether it’s vulnerable or not. Beware of the Soup Kitchen Server! Finally, you have a responsibility to your client to have an agreement in place around website security. Discuss this important element of the build in the early stages of your engagement and make sure they fully understand the significance. "Delineate responsibilities through expectation management," says Dre. Be sure to download Dre's free security checklist below. While you're there, drop us a comment.

On the show today the five of us talk about what you can expect on the upcoming episodes of WP Elevation. In handing over the reigns, I’m humbled and chuffed to have these four extraordinary coaches step in and become regular hosts. And I’m also freaked out to let go! But after two years of weekly shows, I needed to refresh and reinvigorate what we were doing and where we were going with the WP Elevation podcast. My first question to these four was about what is most exciting for them in becoming hosts. Kristina is delighted for the opportunity to talk with the great minds in this space, and she thinks it's cool to connect with these guests in a more personal way, after knowing them through social media. For example, she has recorded an interview with Dre Armeda of Sucuri. They both have daughters - he has four and Kristina has one - who all have a common obsession with the movie Frozen! She said it was fun to connect on that level, and then launch into a discussion about website security. Mike is thrilled that so many of the people he gets to interview this year have been people whose blogs he has been reading, and people he admires. He finds it mind-blowing that he gets to talk to these people! Gin also weighs in from a different perspective. She knows many of the guests and has organised getting these people on the show for the last three years. But because she was new to the WordPress space she didn't fully grasp the calibre of the guests. But she does today, and she's looking forward to good interviews on her own, like Andy GoDaddy's community manager! She’s also excited to bring her business perspective to the show and share practical advice with the audience. Cath jokingly says she is really excited to hang with the cool kids! She has grown a lot since the beginning as a member of WP Elevation and then later a coach. She admits to feeling a little intimidated, but she has been doing a lot of research and listening to the best podcasts, so she knows what it sounds like to be a pro! She knows it's going to be a lot of fun to interview guests and share them with the audience. My next question for the group was about the areas they are particularly interested in talking about on the podcast. Kristina is interested to know what people are doing when it relates to dealing with clients or creating WordPress space products. She likes to connect with people and dig in to how the guest's background and journey apply to the WP Elevations listeners. Mike finds the humble beginnings and personal stories of successful people fascinating, and so he’s excited to dive into that. He also can’t wait to hear about guests’ journeys and how the “blueprints” they uncovered can benefit the listeners of this show. Cath is keen to ask her guests what the audience may be overlooking and missing in terms of products and services. She is also really interested in what our audience needs to know about our micro audiences and micro-client bases, plus community management, positioning and learning from like-minded colleagues. What Gin is most looking forward to talking about is managing remote teams, and building those teams. She’s also excited to bring live streaming and video techniques to remove the intimidation and fear many have around the topic. Also on this episode, you’ll hear stretch goals these four have for who they want to interview as well as what kind of takeaways to expect from each show. You’ll hear from each of our four hosts on those topics, plus more on this edition of WP Elevation podcast! Got ideas or recommendations on who you’d love to see as a guest on WP Elevation?
