Code-free success: Manage Drupal through the User Interface.

Drupal is a powerful tool that can be configured many ways, sometimes insecurely. Knowing popular attack vectors against your site and how to protect against them is important for everyone building a Drupal site. In this session I'll discuss some ways sites get attacked and what you can do to maintain your site's security through smart configuration and how to recover should it be attacked.
