Drupal has a good reputation for security and it deserves it.…Now, every piece of complex software has security issues, but the thing about…Drupal is that it has an especially large and well-organized team to respond…quickly when new problems appear.…And it has well-established systems to help people like you and me fix them.…This video reviews what those systems are and gives you additional tips to…ensure that your site is safe.…Now I mentioned that security team. Their home on the web is at…drupal.org/security-team.…
The advisories that they release are at drupal.org/security.…Notice that this is for Drupal Core.…If you want to keep track of any security advisories for Ccntributed projects,…that is modules or themes, just click there and then Public service…announcements is for less critical matters.…You could come back to the web site to read these or if you would prefer to…receive them in an RSS feed, each one of these pages has that available.…And of course, you would subscribe to that in your mail program or any other way…
