Guest: Luke Langford, CEO, Monarx

Luke Langford, CEO of Monarx, a malware protection software company, joins Pantheon’s Steve Persch to discuss how trust forms the foundation of the web – both through community connections and robust security measures. Langford explains why choosing security-focused hosting partners matters, how Monarx protects against classic vulnerabilities like file permission exploits at the server level, and why AI is both empowering attackers and defenders.

Key Topics:

• Why not all hosting providers take security seriously
• How classic WordPress vulnerabilities (file permissions!) still threaten sites
• Why AI is making attacks "scarily easy" and how to fight back
• The security questions every business leader should ask
