Is your WordPress version actually irrelevant for security? One commenter claimed plugins are the only real concern, and the data partly supports this: 96% of vulnerabilities in 2024 came from plugins. But partly right isn't the same as completely safe.
In this episode, Charly covers:
✅ Why 96% of vulnerabilities coming from plugins doesn't mean core updates are irrelevant
📌 The structural differences between WordPress core security and plugin development oversight
🛡️ How security patches create a roadmap for attackers targeting unpatched sites
🔗 The business risks beyond hacking: insurance, compliance, and notification obligations
Keeping WordPress updated isn't just about preventing attacks. It's about protecting your business from consequences you might not have considered.

📌 The two essential questions to ask before any launch
🔗 Real examples of how audience feedback beats imagined perfection
🛡️ Permission to launch messy (not broken) and iterate based on real data
