Summary

This chapter discussed the concept of a baseline report. This report helps you identify where threats exist in your operation, and should contain a plan to mitigate them.

The strength of the baseline report is in the use of it. In other words, if you use it once and forget about it, then it has no value.

You were introduced to a number of tools to help you identify security issues on your site, and you learned how to identify the add-ons for your CMS.

In Chapter 5, you will continue with the next step in the baselining process, which is hardening your server against attack. This process involves a more in-depth look at the systems, software, and processes used in your business.
