Security

Source

A good set of high order principles to keep in mind when I’m building software to run anywhere:

  • Identity, least privilege
  • Traceability, auditability
  • Defence in depth, controls at every layer
  • Protect data in transit and at rest
  • Think about and practice incident response
  • Automate it!

Notes

  • Understand the shared responsibility model and how I can leverage it to improve security and shift some of the burden of patching and other maintenance tasks to a partner like AWS
