Joomla is insecure?

One of the things we still hear sometimes is that Joomla is insecure. Yes, we have to admit there were some huge security issues in the past, similar to most software applications. For instance, most if not all operating systems (Linux, Windows, Mac OS, Android, iOS, etcera) have had their security issues, but that does not stop from you using a computer. In general, those developers that state that the Joomla core is insecure, have gotten their information from the days of Joomla 1.5 - these developers dwell in the past. Nowaways, Joomla is reliable and secure.

However, there is still a lot that you can do yourself to make things insecure. This expert session will focus on all aspects of security and will be a good kickstart for you to tighten the security of your site even more.
