These two ideas still confuse the heck out of most devs in the field. Defense in depth isn’t just throwing more security tools at a problem – we see this misconception daily in our secure coding bootcamps. It’s about building…
Hackers don’t give up after the first try – they keep poking around until something breaks. A single security measure might work today, but tomorrow’s threats need more muscle. Our training bootcamp’s seen plenty of real-world examples where layered defenses…
Nobody wants to gamble with security. During our time teaching developers at the bootcamp, we’ve seen firsthand how single-point defenses crumble. Security teams know the drill – layer those controls, stack those defenses. Security teams know the drill, layer those…
Security isn’t some one-and-done fix – we’ve learned this lesson the hard way. Think of defense in depth like those old medieval castles with moats, walls, and guard towers. Each security layer backs up the others, kinda like having backup…
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…
