In the first part of this blog series, I took a look at how an understanding of digital strategy and digital risk is key to starting a security transformation journey. And in the second, I dug further into how a secure access service edge (SASE) architecture with security service edge (SSE) capabilities and zero trust principles can help mitigate the types of digital risk. In this final part, I will outline a few key use cases to show all of these elements in action.
Most developers aren’t security experts. This isn’t because we don’t care about security, it’s just that there are only so many hours in the day and features come first. Fortunately, developers don’t need to be security experts to build secure apps — they just need the right tools.
Many business customers have migrated from LastPass to Keeper over the past several years. As a result of recent news surrounding LastPass’ data breach, customers are asking what they should do to ensure passwords migrated from LastPass to Keeper are updated, in case backup files from LastPass that may remain on LastPass’ infrastructure, have been accessed by the attackers.
Let's get our hands dirty with policy as code and write our first OPA policies for a Kubernetes environment.
