A lone firewall gives IT folks false comfort, much like those medieval castles scattered across Scotland relying on a single stone wall. Anyone who’s spent time in security knows better. At our training bootcamp, watching companies deal with breaches drives…
When it comes to software, defense can’t just be a single checkbox on some audit form. Our developers learn that security needs layers, like those ancient castles with multiple lines of protection. We teach Defense in Depth through hands-on training,…
A bank doesn’t keep its cash in one safe, they’ve got cameras, guards, and alarm systems too. That’s exactly what Defense in Depth means in security – layering multiple protections around our systems. Experience shows that hackers don’t give up…
Starting strict with dev team permissions wasn’t about following some security rulebook. Developers first need a solid grasp of understanding least privilege principles to see why limiting access works. Our bootcamp students kept proving that less access meant fewer mess-ups…
Cloud permissions pile up like old spare keys – under doormats, in flowerpots, stuffed who-knows-where around the house. We’ve watched this story repeat itself in our bootcamp sessions, tech companies making the same mistakes month after month. Sure, dev teams…
Security folks throw around “least privilege” and “zero trust” like they’re the same thing. They’re not. Our instructors watch developers mix these up daily during training sessions. Zero trust works like a suspicious nightclub bouncer – everyone needs to prove…
Limiting access rights sounds easy until you’re staring at a production environment with hundreds of moving parts. Through countless training sessions at our bootcamp, dev teams hit the same wall – permissions are messy. The solution’s pretty straightforward though: start…
Week one made it obvious, too much access breaks things. At our secure dev bootcamp, instructors teach and we practice least privilege; users, apps, services get only what they need. Nothing extra. Since we tightened, the blast radius slid from…
Security gets sloppy at most places, we see it in our labs all the time. Bootcamp students trip over the basics – passwords copied across accounts, MFA switched off for convenience, shared admin logins that no one tracks. The roles…
After you’ve watched a breach unfold up close, we stop arguing about the fix: least privilege keeps projects alive. Viewers stay read-only, not admin. Admin accounts live apart, they’re rare. Keep them rare and the blast radius stays small, accidents…
