In this episode of WordPress Weekly, Marcus Couch and I are joined by Tony Perez, co-founder and CEO of Sucuri. It’s easy to tell from this episode that Perez is extremely passionate about web security.
We discussed a wide range of topics related to security including, trends involving WordPress, the FUD factor, messaging surrounding HTTPS, and what Defense in Depth really means. We also discussed the three basic elements of security, people, process, and technology.
