Every year iThemes holds a three day webinar series where they cover one of the most important topics related to WordPress and online business, ‘website security’.
This is a FREE event, however, you do need to register. If you can not attend this even live, anyone that is registered will be sent the even replays.
Event Dates: March 16, 17 & 18 (all sessions are from 1-3pm CT)
What You Can Expect
These are a couple of the questions that will be answered during this three day event.
- Are you ready if your WordPress site gets hacked or if your site crashes?
- Is there anything you can do to prepare or prevent a website disaster?
- How do you recover when disaster strikes?
During WordPress Disaster Week, the iThemes Security team will provide a plan for how to prevent and recover when disaster strikes.
The Event Schedule
As mentioned this is a three day event that will be presented live. During the event they will cover, prevention, recovery, and tips for WordPress professionals that want to provide security services.
March 16th – Session 1: Prevention
As the popularity of WordPress increases, so does the attention from hackers. When you have such a large number of users (currently 40% of websites use WP) it’s easy to find them.
March 17th – Session 2: Recovery
While there is no way, aside from deleting your website and completely removing your digital footprint from the internet, to eliminate the risk of being hacked or prevent all attacks. You can use the information in this session to help you reduce your risk and prevent most attacks.
March 18th – Session 3: Providing Security Services for Clients
More than ever, people understand the importance of website security and the demand for online security services is growing. More and more people are willing to pay to keep their websites secure.
The Wrap Up
In full disclosure, iThemes offers the most popular Security plugin for WordPress website, and they will be recommending that you use this plugin during this three day webinar (likely with a discount offer).
