  • Thomas Vitale: Security Is a Process, Not a Plugin

    WordCamp London 2018Speaker: Thomas Vitale

    November 7, 2018 — In 2000, the internationally renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier wrote: “Security is a process, not a product”. In the same essay, he wondered: “Will we ever learn?”. Apparently not.

    How many times have you considered your WordPress application security only once completed? How many times have you installed a security plugin and thought it was enough? Securing a web application doesn’t mean installing a plugin just before deployment. Not at all.

    I’m very passionate about security and I’d like to share my thoughts with you. My focus will be the security awareness related to web applications. Is WordPress secure? I will answer this question very clearly. And you’re not gonna like it!

  • Tom Shapiro: Mastering Website Behavioral Analysis

    WordCamp Boston 2018Speaker: Tom Shapiro

    November 6, 2018 — Many WordPress designers, developers, and site owners rely on Google Analytics for insights into their site visitors.

    The problem is that GA provides you with only half of the story, such as traffic source, number of visitors, page views, etc.

    To uncover deeper insights, turn to behavioral analytics. Specifically, what are your site visitors actually doing while on your site? Where is their attention on the page? How far are they scrolling? In which particular fields are they abandoning your forms?

    Behavioral analysis is an insights engine, enabling you to transform your site performance.

    In this session, learn how to use behavioral analytics and analysis effectively to determine site adjustments that will lead to higher engagement and increased return on investment (ROI).
