S02E07: Oliver Sild (Patchstack) - Most Hosting Providers FAIL TO SECURE WORDPRESS
How do plugin vulnerabilities actually get exploited in WordPress sites? Why are most hosting companies still not taking application-layer security seriously? What’s coming with EU regulations like the Cyber Resilience Act? And how can a bounty program help secure open source at scale?
My guest is Oliver Sild, founder and CEO of Patchstack, a leading security company protecting WordPress and other open-source CMS platforms at the application level. An ethical hacker and community builder from Estonia, Oliver shares how his journey shaped Patchstack into one of the most relevant solutions for hosting providers today — and why the industry is not ready for what’s coming next.
