This in-depth session will begin by providing an overview of ways a website manager can effectively address security within their Joomla! website. We'll discuss why security is so important and the steps you can take to better fortify your Joomla! website(s). Once a context has been created, I'll share the history of the Joomla Security Strike Team and outline how they have aggressively addressed security concerns over the last few years to make Joomla! more resistant to breaches. I'll explain (in layman's terms) the security upgrades that the Joomla Security Strike Team has recently made with Joomla! 3.2 and now 2.5.18 which include an evolved password encryption system ("Strong Passwords") and the option to use Two Factor Authentication. Demonstrations will include techniques to assist you with proactively monitoring and protecting your Joomla! website. I'll cover extensions like Admin Tools (WAF and HTACCESS) and Akeeba Backup (auto-scheduling backups and Cloud backup integration), setting up and configuring a YubiKey for password protection, and third party applications like Watchful (remote software updating) and My Joomla (remote malware scanning).
