New Blog Post Outlines Key Steps to Prevent Drupal Account Compromises
A new blog post by Drupal security expert and founder of GeoNovation, Andrea Corda stresses the urgent need to protect user accounts from compromise, calling them one of the biggest vulnerabilities in Drupal websites today.
While Drupal’s core remains secure, weak passwords, excessive permissions, and outdated modules open doors for cyberattacks. Corda outlines key defenses: enforce strong password policies, enable two-factor authentication (2FA), restrict user roles, limit login attempts, and monitor user activity.
Tools like the Password Policy, Login Security, and Security Kit modules are highlighted as vital for strengthening account protection. Regular updates and activity logging are also essential to detect and prevent unauthorized access.
Used by governments and enterprises alike, Drupal sites often handle sensitive data. The blog’s message is clear: cybercriminals target users, not just code. Proactive account security is critical to keeping your site safe.
