LocalGov Drupal Security Best Practices

Webcurl's blog post, "LocalGov Drupal Security 101: Features and Best Practices Explained," emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity, likening it to securing a house with a sturdy lock to protect valuable data from malicious hackers. LocalGov Drupal, a specialized distribution of the Drupal CMS, benefits from ongoing security scrutiny by over 1 million community members and a dedicated security team from diverse sectors. 

Key security measures include Drupal Steward, a web application firewall that minimizes vulnerabilities, and several best practices such as cautious handling of unauthorized file uploads, enforcing strong passwords, blocking username enumeration attempts, configuring essential security headers, and avoiding verbose error messages. Additionally, maintaining up-to-date Drupal versions and subscribing to security alerts are crucial for staying ahead of emerging threats, especially given the public sector's vulnerability to cybercrime.
