Get Analysis on the State of PHP Support Within Popular Content Management Systems

Leading content management systems (CMSs) like Drupal and WordPress rely on PHP in similar, but differing ways – and, by extension, so do their respective ecosystems. However, there are signs that  Drupal and WordPress (for a variety of reasons) are struggling to keep pace with the constant march of the PHP community support lifecycle. 

Unfortunately, these upstream ripples are causing waves in their downstream ecosystems – with maintainers of plugins, extensions, themes, and modules lagging even further behind their respective CMSs. The worst part is, these issues are causing real headaches for teams deploying mission-critical applications on Drupal and WordPress.

So how can teams keep their apps secure despite these challenges?
