One of the benefits of having a large, passionate open source community is that people are generally willing to cooperate with us when it comes to matters pertaining to security. This is especially true for people who are committed to the platform and want to ensure its continued growth and prosperity. Most security issues are discovered by community members who are actively pushing the limits of the framework and are more than willing to contribute their findings back to the core for the benefit of the entire community. We have also successfully dealt with a number of "white hat" professional security organizations in the past. In these cases, the "white hats" are paid by clients to perform a thorough security analysis on a particular application. Generally, these organizations are willing to share their results with us in exchange for some minimal recognition ( which helps promote their business ). We have also had to deal with "black hats" ( ie. hackers ) on a few occasions. This is the most difficult security issue to contend with because there is no cooperation. Nonetheless, we have dealt with each incident successfully and the reputation of DotNetNuke as a secure platform has been maintained.... read more

In case you did not know already, DotNetNuke Corporation has been offering professional Support services for the DotNetNuke platform since January of this year through our Subscription Program.

However, one thing which I have been meaning to do for some time, is write a blog which clarifies certain aspects of the program, as I believe there are some incorrect assumptions which have been circulating in the community since its introduction. This obviously means that we have not done the best job in marketing the program to date, and rather than allowing the confusion to continue, let's take a moment to cover a few important details:... read more
