A great primer. From a Moodle developers point of view.
“Moodle 4 Security: An Introduction”In reviewing the initial chapters of “Moodle 4 Security,” I found it to be a valuable resource for those looking to delve into Moodle security measures. As a developer specializing in building plugins, I believe the topics outlined in this book serve as an excellent foundation for further research. Developers can use the topics discussed to outline areas of research and deepen their understanding of Moodle security.The book not only delves into practical aspects like threat monitoring but also provides instructions on utilizing a virtual machine to gain experience with the Linux environment. As someone who primarily uses a Mac, I’ll need to conduct additional research to adapt the tools discussed in the book to my operating system.One aspect I particularly appreciated was the brief historical overview of past events related to security breaches. It provided just enough information to raise awareness of the strategies employed by bad actors to compromise user data. Additionally, the book points to resources for gaining a deeper understanding of certain concepts, which is beneficial for further exploration.Furthermore, the book walks you through a realistic scenario as a role of Moodle security advisor, guiding you through tasks that would allow you to fulfill the requirement of creating a security register for a company. This hands-on approach provides practical experience and enhances understanding of security protocols in a corporate setting.Overall, “Moodle 4 Security” offers valuable insights and practical guidance for enhancing the security of Moodle installations. Developers can leverage the topics outlined in this book to conduct their own additional research and further strengthen their knowledge in Moodle security.

Now I have a much clear list of things that need to be tweaked in our Moodle instance
Moodle 4 Security by Ian Wild has been a super helpful read. I thought we had done a reasonable job securing our Moodle instance; think again. I know have much clearer roadmap of various areas when we as a Team need to engage, review our current implementation details, and then move forward on various fixes. The chapter on monitoring (Grafana and Prometheus) were very practical. The section detailing the Moodle Security Report unveiled several shortcomings we are working to address. Ian’s practical demonstration of how we should be doing thing will definitely be a game changer for our organization.Thank you Ian!
