Summary
Online, we're halfway to being able to manage WordPress and its server securely.
As well as cornering our access point, what we should take from Surf Safe is the ability to work from any machine or location. The importance of these steps cannot be understated.
What's missing is the use of a few choice protocols and tools to protect our site administration. We can fix that, foursquare, in Chapter 5 where we'll size up the security siblings SSL and SSH and implement those, together with some fine Apache defenses, giving us a rock solid local-to-web environment to continue to work from.
In the meantime, take five, freshen up, and sharpen your pencil.
