Before you can start setting up any security measures, you should have a clear understanding of where security is even needed. 🧐 To do that, you’ll first need to start mapping your attack surface. oliversild.com/how-to-map-the…

Ever struggled to convince a client they need to invest in security? Here’s my approach to helping customers actually get it. oliversild.com/how-to-help-cu…

OliverSild's tweet card. Let’s take a closer look at how the security responsibility should be communicated to the website owners, so they would understand why it’s important for them to invest into security.

I found an idea I fell in love with while walking with my dog Lilly this morning - an idea of a pivot. It's so common we don't even think about it much. But I think we should! 💪 oliversild.com/its-time-for-a…

OliverSild's tweet card. Sometimes, when things aren't working out, a change is necessary. This happened already once in 2021, and today, another pivot is needed.

Offering WordPress maintenance isn’t just good for clients – it’s good for your business. I wrote a guide on setting it up (and avoiding common mistakes). oliversild.com/how-to-set-up-…

OliverSild's tweet card. Maintenance services are not only essential for customers who don’t have any in-house developers, but they are equally important to most companies who might even have entire technical teams as well.

‼️ Gravity Forms had a supply chain breach and their official website distributed a plugin with a backdoor. If you happened to download their plugin via the website on 10/11th of July, make sure to scan your server now. IOCs and details in the article. patchstack.com/articles/criti…

“But my WordPress site isn’t a target.” Yes it is. Assume you’re already hacked. Then start building like it. oliversild.com/consider-yours…

OliverSild's tweet card. The most powerful thing you can do to protect your website—and your business—is to change the way you think about security.

Hmm, @WordCampUS happens in a month and only 333 tickets have been bought as of today. 🙃 Are people normally buying tickets last minute or is WCUS going to be significantly smaller this year?

Not all vulnerabilities are created equal. Here’s what you need to know: oliversild.com/most-dangerous…

OliverSild's tweet card. While Cross-Site Scripting, Cross-Site Request Forgery, and Broken Access Control are the most common ones, they might not necessarily be the most dangerous ones.
