Drupal Outshines WordPress in CMS Security Battle
In the ongoing debate between WordPress and Drupal, a recent analysis by WP Security Ninja highlights that Drupal takes the lead in security. While both content management systems are open-source and widely used, Drupal’s architecture, strict module vetting, and advanced permission settings make it the top choice for enterprise and government-level websites.
WordPress powers over 43% of global websites and is praised for its ease of use and customization. However, its heavy reliance on third-party plugins creates vulnerabilities—52% of attacks stem from outdated or poorly maintained plugins.
By contrast, Drupal maintains a secure core with fewer reported breaches. Though it demands more technical expertise, Drupal’s robust structure and fine-grained controls offer unmatched protection for high-risk environments.
In 2025, the choice between WordPress and Drupal boils down to balancing ease of use against advanced security needs. For those prioritizing protection, Drupal stands out as the more secure CMS.
