Is it safe/wise to run Drupal alongside bespoke business web apps in production?
- by Vaze
I'm interested to know the general community feeling about the safety of running Drupal alongside bespoke, business critial ASP.NET MVC apps on a production server.
Previously my employer's Drupal based 'visitor website' was hosted as a managed service with a 3rd party. While the LoB sites were hosted in-house. That 3rd party is no longer available so I'm considering my options:
Bring Drupal in-house
Find another 3rd party
My concern is that I have little experience with Drupal administration (and no experience securing it) and that the addition of PHP to my IIS server poses a security risk.
Is there a best practice that I can follow in this situation?
