Drupal and WP are quite secure (I've not seen Joomla for a long time). But if someone make an unsecured plugin/module that's not good. So my answer is it's depend on the developer.

I would recommend you to consider Joomla and Drupal from security point of view rather then considering WordPress which is not good when security is taken in consideration.

Why is WP less secure? Please give us some facts about security issues.

What utter claptrap.

 

Don't give out advice if you don't know what you're talking about!

Check out the software links at http://secunia.com/community/advisories/product/ - often a good source of issues.

 

As with any CMS it's wise to stay up to date with current releases and addons, also when using 3rd party addons it's well worth checking out any security issues and how frequently the addon developer updates to address security.

Drupal's selling point (from their perspective), in terms of security, is that the Whitehouse uses it. Of course not in the sense of having access to all that data that Mulder and Sculley put together, but their press releases and stuff. I haven't used Drupal myself, but it's on the cards for next year (by client request of all things!). Personally I use WordPress. More people use it, so of course it's a target but there's plenty of measures you can take to protect it.

My expertise is design. So what I'm saying are comments from our clients. When they want a secured CMS, wordpress is the least of all the choices. Mostly they asked for Drupal or Joomla.

Are you clients security experts?

 

You can harden WP, you can also riddle it with holes. The same is true of Joomla and Drupal!

Joomla and Drupal are more secured as compared to WordPress.

Word press is more secure.

If you use wordpress with the free plugin called Bulletproof Security you are all fine.

I would not recommend WP without any security enhancement.

However don't think it's something big. Just choose a security plugin and install.

 

Further explanation:

It's not secured by out of box because the security settings needs to be done on your server / directories / files. Of course they can't expect that all of us install WP in the same directory.

WordPress is now more secure than other two CMS platform as WordPress has plenty plugins to protect each elements of WordPress. I just recently study a WordPress security blog which has an incredible information about WordPress security.

 

I would like to wish that please read it and then choose your the best CMS option with the better security. Read here more about WordPress Security. http://www.searchenginejournal.com/just-say-no-to-hackers-how-to-harden-your-wordpress-security/63685/

It would be nice if you good people would add a second line to your posts with a little explanation or a link to some documentation just to add a little weight to your statements.

To those people who 're claiming that a CMS is securer than other, please don't come to a conclusion when giving advice because that way you confuse the people that 're new to CMS.

Btw, i 100% agree with @MMMedia and @Nillervision. Better give a reason why because that makes everything clear

Keep also in mind that the most popular is the most targeted one, and when it comes to security; nothing is 100% secure. If you Google (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=wordpress+vs+joomla+vs+drupal ) you will come across a lot of opinions and at the end of the day you need to make a decision.

From experience:

 

Joomla : Definately has security issues, and I have been attacked with joomla which has put me right off it, not sure if they have fixed the holes!

WP : don't like it too much as i think it attracts a lot of bad attention with roaming bots, constantly trying to overload a server, unless you have control over your own hosted server, i don't think i wouldn't use it. (just my opinion no need to have a go at me )

 

Drupal : don't know! not really used it.

 

But i think a big factor is also the environment you are using the CMS in. If the hosted environement of the files or database is not secured properly you will be attacked, i guarantee it, it is only a matter of time.

 

Best thing you can do is make sure your folders have proper file permissions and you set up correct users with restricted permissions for MYSQL and not give out super admin usernames and passwords (I mean in the config files that you have use).

Drupal has a good for security. Drupal based website so you don't have to only rely on your developers security knowledge. When drupal modules are found to have vulnerabilities it a notes as a security advisor.

Core vulnerabilites get patched pretty fast across the board for most major CMS's - it's the third party developers you have to watch out for. If a CMS is widespread, you can guarantee that there's a group of individuals trying to break into it. Install Akeeba Admin Tools on a Joomla site, and have it report intrusion attempts - it's scary, scary stuff.
