Magento 2 Security: Patches, Hardening & Best Practices

Magento security searches spike after Adobe security bulletins. Unpatched stores are prime ransomware targets — automation scans for known CVEs within hours.

Patch cadence: Apply Adobe security releases within 30 days maximum; critical CVEs within 72 hours. Test in staging with automated regression on checkout.

Admin hardening: IP allowlists, 2FA for all admins, unique URLs, and least-privilege roles. Disable unused admin accounts immediately.

WAF & CDN: Cloudflare or Fastly WAF blocks common exploits; enable bot management on login and checkout.

Extensions: Remove abandoned modules; prefer Adobe Marketplace partners. Each extension expands attack surface.
