When the right time comes and the clear vision of the future website design is set, it's by no means unimportant to contemplate everything that concerns its security. According to statistical data gathered by Sucuri in 2016, 74% of hacked websites ran on WordPress,17% – Joomla and 6% – Magento. Why less than 1% of Drupal websites got compromised?
Drupal is known for its exceptional security track record. The bare fact that this CMS has been chosen by such giants as CNN, PayPal, Twitter, eBay, Verizon, The Economist and even the White House along with 24% of all .gov sites in the United States [1], just to name a few, shows that Drupal takes security issues very seriously.
Drupal vulnerabilities Every CMS has its vulnerabilities and Drupal is no exception. Weighing up the risks when it comes to Drupal development, CVE Details, an online security vulnerability data source, reports 290 vulnerabilities from 2002 to 2015, which is far less than any other CMS has, making comparison between the market share and the incident rate [2].
What types of vulnerabilities are they? According to CVE Detail, 46% of Drupal vulnerabilities are cross-site scripting (XSS) and it is officially considered to be number-one vulnerability in Drupal code and a most scary one, meaning the JavaScript that XSS uses makes changes to websites faster than a user can by putting Drupal site offline, changing username, password, and email address.

While there is no 100% guarantee that such trouble will never happen to your website, R-Style Lab experts highly recommend implementing the best security practices to protect yourself and harden Drupal security:
So, keep watch, stay focused and be in control of the situation – together with Drupal!
