Securing Drupal: Advanced Tactics and Case Study

Staff Reporter

This blog post from Joshi Consultancy Services offers a robust, practical guide to advanced Drupal security. It goes beyond standard practices, focusing on modern threats like APTs and supply chain attacks. The post advocates a zero-trust model, highlighting tools like TFA and OAuth SSO for authentication, with a strong emphasis on least-privilege access control.

It outlines hardened server configurations using HSTS headers, .htaccess rules, and server-level tuning. Monitoring integrates Drupal’s SecKit with custom threat intelligence, moving beyond native logs. Disaster recovery is addressed with AES-256-encrypted backups using the Backup and Migrate module, coupled with quarterly recovery drills.

A detailed case study of Education Above All’s Drupal platform illustrates the application of these strategies.
