Occasionally the Drupal User Group gets the opportunity to have a guest Drupal speaker come and present to us on a topic.  I’m excited to announce that Krista Trovato will be joining us for February’s DUG from 11 am to 1 pm.  We’ll also be discussing Drupal Camp Pittsburgh as she’s the principle organizer from Pittsburgh’s side.  This is a great opportunity to talk to someone from outside our local community that has a lot of experience in and out of Drupal.

Here’s an overview of her background and what she’ll be talking to us about.

Security of websites and the data that is hosted and transmitted is one of the most important and most overlooked parts of website development. This Drupal and Security presentation is intended to provide practical information, discuss what the risks are, how to assess risk and protect your Drupal web site. We will introduce the principals of security, threat modeling, discuss the OWASP top 10 and how to ensure your Drupal site meets all the requirements to protect from the most common attacks. Don’t become a victim.

Krista Trovato has 20+ years of software development experience, 10+ years of security and compliance testing and website development experience and 7 years Drupal Development. Krista currently owns and operates Peerless design, a small website design company in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, specializing in corporate security and compliance.
