New Training Course: WordPress Security

Website security has become an absolute priority in every business context. In this scenario, Ryadel has expanded its training offer with “WordPress Security”, a new technical course aimed at those who manage, develop, or maintain WordPress-based websites.

The first edition of the course was held on March 11, 2025, and was delivered to the IT team at MisterWolf, who took part in an intensive session focused on identifying signs of compromise, protecting web environments, and preventing the most common vulnerabilities targeting the world's most widely used CMS.

A Practical and Operational Training Path

The course addresses real-world attack and compromise scenarios, providing tools and hands-on skills to:

Analyze suspicious files and anomalies in the WordPress file system.
Recognize Remote Code Execution attempts, malicious uploads, and backdoor PHP files.
Read and interpret access logs, identifying attack patterns and suspicious IPs.
Effectively use security plugins such as Wordfence, iThemes Security, and MalCare.
Implement CMS hardening practices, including correct permission settings, disabling backend file editing, and blocking PHP execution in critical folders.
Configure both automatic and manual backups to ensure website resilience in the event of a compromise.
