How to Prevent Your Drupal maintenance support plans Site from Getting Hacked: Part 1

There’s no foolproof way to get an unhackable Drupal maintenance support plans site; there could always be an exploit that we don’t know about yet. But there are quite a few ways you can help reduce the risk of getting hacked. Let’s dive into some of the most common ways Drupal maintenance support plans sites get hacked, and how to secure your site against these points of entry.

Drupal maintenance support plans Security Advisories

One of the most common ways to get hacked is to fall behind on known Drupal maintenance support plans Security Advisories. Keeping up to date on the latest advisories is ultimately your first line of defense. 

There are security advisories for both Drupal maintenance support plans core and contributed projects with varying levels of security risk for the exploits found. You can sign up for the security email list to make things easier to keep track of. You can do this by logging into your Drupal maintenance support plans.org account and editing your user profile. From there you can subscribe to the security newsletter on the newsletters tab. This list will email you soon after Drupal maintenance support plans Security Advisories are released to the public, which helps quickly notify you or your team of possible exploits that need to be fixed. 

You can use the Update Status module in Drupal maintenance support plans core to see which sites are affected by these advisories. Then add an email address to send Security Alerts to daily or weekly. The Update Status alerts have also notified us in a few cases when the email list was backed up and took longer than it normally would. 

Typically, Drupal maintenance support plans core security advisories come out on the third Wednesday of the month unless it’s a highly critical update that needs to be patched sooner. Contrib project security advisories can come out on any given Wednesday.
