Episode 23 Audio Download Link

Recorded August 3rd 2016

This episode we have Mark Shropshire on to talk about the Guardr install profile which is a Drupal distribution with a combination of modules and settings to enhance a Drupal application's security and availability to meet enterprise security requirements. We started with a different title so don’t be confused. As always, Bob talks about great Blog Posts, Mario does a great interview, Ryan does the great Final Bell and Mark is his mediocre self.
