Since launching the Communications department-supported WordPress websites numerous years ago, we have made many alterations in configuration changes to the sites. Including consolidating many of our security settings into a single WordPress plug-in that is deployed across all sites. A recent, rather benign, issue came up that indicated it a misconfiguration on our security settings. In light of this, and given that the landscape of the Internet has changed over the last 5 to 7 years*, we’d like to ask the security team to review our current WordPress-based sites and provide an assessment of their settings.
*Not to mention numerous updates to code via Plugins and configuration changes that have not been reviewed with a security-minded eye.
