If done properly, none of it should be exposed to the public Internet. Private network will be the only one updating the content of the site, and some other action publishes the content to their web servers, which also in most cases should be a single system also not accessible from the Internet that syncs the data for the public server that can could be several dozens in a "load balancing" mode.

Though I wouldn't doubt that ever. If someone wants to find loopholes, he can easily do it. I was invited for a blog, which hasnt been set up as yet! I never saw the backend so, I can't comment on their CMS. Further, they need a SPELL CHECKER integrated. Have you seen the grammatical errors creeping in? Though, I dont care now. Word Press? Publicly available exploits? Can't fix it up? I got an email which said so. It further said that Word Press isn't secure, thrid party application. They haven't seen the code, cant vet it and rah! No arguments on that. I am not concerned with whatever system you run. We guys are WORDPRESS ADDICTS! It rocks for us. I have used Movable Type and it's sucks to the core. Open Source rules. Incidentally, the fixes are faster for the Open Source programmes than for anything else. Well, there seems to be an inherent problem with the IBN website. I did bring it to their notice several times, but it seems that they are not interested to fix it up. So long! Very true Sushubh.

'we already have many bloggers blogging since quite sometime on our customised CMS. to install wordpress for one blogger won't make any sense.' and i guess you already know that if a kid from California has his eyes set on breaking your customised CMS, it would hardly take him a couple of hours to find a loophole... so they were trying to fool us by using an illogical explanation? not good. especially when they are dealing with people who are online 24×7 blogging about technology.
