One of the main issue with security is that there's no visible difference between a well secured system and one that's open to any script kiddie. And you might install something or make a mistake in a config file, and suddenly your system is completely unsecure, and again there be will nothing obvious about it.
I think what's missing is an easy to use tool, installed by default - you run it and see a clear overview of your system security - what ports are opened, how is SSH accessible, how secure are the running services, etc. with plain ticks/crosses to show what's good or not. The kind of tool that a developer can install on their server and then check that at least the basics are right.
- macintux 5y agoThe enterprise space is rife with such tools, but unfortunately they tend to tell you everything, which makes it hard to identify what actually matters.
- Saint_Genet 5y agoUnderstanding security is no longer optional if you try to run a business in the internet. People like to talk about how they want to focus on the product and building features, but if you don’t have security you don’t have a functional product. No, security is not easy, but it’s not an optional skill set anymore. Learn it of fail.
