Greg Knaddison

Greg Knaddison has been a member of the Drupal security team since 2007. In 2009 he published the book Cracking Drupal which is a guide for how to keep your site secure (of course, that also makes it a guide for how to break into a site...). Ben (coltrane) Jeavons recently joined the security team after learning about the Drupal security team through presentations at past Drupal events. Now he gets to make the presentation. Heine Deelstra is the Technical Lead of the Drupal security team. Matt Cheney is a master of dramatic interpretation and will amaze and astound you with the ways your site can be cracked if you don't follow some simple steps.
