Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a great way to increase both on-premises and cloud security. With MFA in place, when a user logs on, they are required to provide not only their user ID and password but another authentication factor, such as a code sent to their phone. This process reduces the attack surface by preventing adversaries with stolen user credentials from logging on. However, MFA is not a cybersecurity panacea.

Cyber insurance is a necessity in today’s cybersecurity landscape, especially in the wake of widespread ransomware attacks on commercial businesses of all sizes. A cyber insurance policy enables companies to transfer the cost of recovering from cyber incidents. In the event of a data breach, your cyber insurance policy can cover the costs of damages to others, profits lost if your network goes down, and the cost of negotiating ransomware.

Amazon Security Lake allows customers to build security data lakes from integrated cloud and on-premises data sources as well as from their private applications.

The rise of cloud, containers, and microservices has shifted the way software developers work for good. Whereas traditionally, software developers would release a new version of an application every few months, today’s platforms allow teams to work faster and more streamlined. These advancements have led to the rise of “software, safer, sooner” — also known as DevSecOps.

The npm CLI has a very convenient and well-known security feature – when installing an npm package, the CLI checks the package and all of its dependencies for well-known vulnerabilities – The check is triggered on package installation (when running npm install) but can also be triggered manually by running npm audit. This is an important security measure that warns developers against using packages with known vulnerabilities.
