WordPress
The world's most widely used open-source content management system; with themes and plugins it can be extended from a blog to a corporate site and e-commerce.

Why it matters
WordPress's large plugin ecosystem allows quick setup, but its popularity also makes it the main target of automated attacks. Most of its security depends on regularly updating the core, theme and plugins, removing unnecessary plugins and protecting the admin login.

Example
A corporate site runs on 40 plugins and is slow. Eighteen unused plugins are removed, the rest are updated and two-step verification is added to the admin login; the site gets faster and its attack surface shrinks.

Common mistake
Installing plugins and themes from unofficial sources, especially “free” copies of paid plugins. These copies often contain backdoors.
