We are happy to announce that the highly important Drupal core security update “[SA-CORE-2018-002](https://www.drupal.org/sa-core-2018-002)” has been carried out successfully at Mearra: **all our clients’ websites are patched and secure.**

## Our secret? Excellent preparation.

Last Wednesday (21st March 2018), the Drupal Security Team shook the community when they announced that a major security update is to be rolled out on the evening of Wednesday 28th March. Some even started nicknaming the update “Drupalgeddon 2.0” due to the resemblance to a highly critical security update in 2014.

Our team of Mearra people in charge **stayed calm and immediately went into preparation mode**. An internal plan of action was released soon after to make sure that the update could be applied **as fast as possible to provide maximum security to our clients**. Several Mearra people along our dedicated security team took responsibility over services to make sure we get them updated quickly.

## Our team? Dedicated and fast.

So when update night rolled around, our team knew exactly what to do: Updating and applying hotfixes to our clients’ sites was executed in the smoothest way possible. To give you some numbers: **More than 130 different websites were done in about 3 hours!**

## Shoutout to the team: You rock!

None of this would have been possible without our **exceptional team of Mearra people who worked tirelessly** to ensure that all client projects received the security update as fast as possible. Huge thanks for your **outstanding performance and excellent work!**

Special thanks go to those members of our team who were part of the task force that kept our client’s applications safe and sound yesterday:
