Hi there,

I have a client that has asked for a summary of the security features built into Silverstripe 3. I am looking for a 1 page summary of the built-in security features, but i cannot seem to find it on the Silverstripe site. Any ideas where i can get that?

Thanks

Usually it's other way around, asking a third party with an unopinionated view of things to create a security audit about what is not secure. Of course you could compile a list of buzz words about basic webdev and webserver security, but I don't think this has any meaning for you client otherthan be overwhelmed about things they don't understand -- on the other hand this might be something they looking for...

Silverstripe covers all the normal things.
The rest is up to the developer (no matter how good the sytem, if a dev circumvents it, it can't prevent that)
And operations (server security).

Thanks everyone...this has bee really helpful. I realize that ultimately security is the responsibility of the dev, but it is good to know that Silverstripe has so many security features already built in.
