title: Security concerns for WAMP as a development environment
body: <p>I would like to install WAMP on our computers so that we can do offline Wordpress development, but the IT department has a few security concerns that I'm hoping you could help address.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>They fear that an outside hacker could take control of the server via internet. Can this concern be addressed when the intention is only to use WAMP for local (offline) development, although the computers are connected to the internet.</p></li>
  <li><p>They fear that a user can leave WAMP running in the background also when other users log in. Can WAMP stay running when the Windows user logs out? If yes, can this be prevented?</p></li>
  </ol>
