Managing a long-term project means staying sharp on cybersecurity—it's a marathon, not a sprint! Let’s keep our defenses strong by: Regularly updating and patching systems to close any security gaps. Holding frequent training sessions to keep everyone alert and informed. Using multi-factor authentication to protect access to critical data. What steps are you taking to ensure our project stays secure over time? Let’s stay vigilant together! Cheers,

🔐 Long-term project security requires more than just tools—it demands a security-first mindset throughout! From my cloud and SRE experience at Pepperstone: Code your infrastructure with version-controlled security configurations Implement zero-trust architecture principles Automate security scanning and monitoring Set up cross-region backup solutions Maintain clear service ownership with security responsibilities Make security part of your "definition of done" Create security champions across teams Security should be seamlessly integrated into workflows, becoming part of your project's DNA rather than an afterthought!

Numerous things could protect a SW project against cybersecurity risks: 1. Enforcing a cybersecurity policy (e.g. OWASP10) for the developed application. The policy will be implemented using scanning/ code-quality tools (e.g. SonarCube, Clair, Fortify) that will monitor the developed code and evaluate it against the policy thresholds 2. Periodic security vulnerability assessments for each released version ensure the released application is not subject to major/ critical security vulnerabilities

To keep your long-term project safe from cybersecurity threats, focus on these key areas: 1. Limit Access – Give people only the access they need, and use multi-factor authentication. 2. Stay Updated – Regularly update software to fix security vulnerabilities. 3. Encrypt Data 4. Monitor for Threats – Use security tools to detect and stop attacks early. 5. Train Your Team – Educate everyone on phishing, social engineering, and best security practices. 6. Back Up Everything – Keep secure backups and test them regularly. 7. Have a Plan – Prepare an incident response plan in case of a breach. 8. Check Vendors – Ensure third-party tools and partners follow strong security practices.

It is necessary to frequently release an patches and update to an encountered vulnerability may it be in codebase, Iac, configs etc small notable issue/error can push the application exposing details. Time to time vulnerability & system scan should be automated to generate report attached to project management teams. Team should follow authentic documentation or training sessions to keep up with trends and implementations. Ensuring dependencies are latest. Enforce role base authentication with fine grain policies for critical projects data so that only the eligible one can process.

To stay vigilant against cybersecurity threats in a long-term project: 1. Risk Assessment: Identify vulnerabilities and create a cybersecurity plan. 2. Training: Educate your team on security best practices. 3. Authentication: Use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and role-based access control. 4. Updates: Keep software updated and automate security patches. 5. Data Protection: Encrypt sensitive data and back it up regularly. 6. Incident Response: Have a plan in place and conduct drills. 7. Monitoring: Use IDS, monitor logs, and stay updated on threats. 8. Third-Party Risk: Vet vendors for security. 9. Zero Trust: Verify all connections and authenticate access. 10. Compliance: Stay compliant with industry standards and regulations.

- Threat modeling based on the critical assets that were established during the design fase of the proyect to identify proper security requirements. - Establish meeting for application centric threat modeling as part of the development cicle to identify un forseen threats and implementation based threats. The result of this meetings will be a technical document that describes the threat and the mitigation strategy. - Enforce multi layer Cybersecurity along with zero trust practices. This way if a system gets exploited it won't expose all it's contents, a truly secure system must have an appropriate level of security, not any more nor any less.

Stay vigilant by updating software, limiting access, monitoring threats, encrypting data, conducting security audits, and training your team regularly. Cybersecurity is an ongoing process.

The problems with AWS in recent days have made it obvious to me: the ideal is to always have a plan B. With a regular backup system, and a switch between different possible service providers in the event of failure of one of them. In the world of computer code, this means using abstraction and design patterns allowing you to change the provider of one of the external services (for example database hosting) quickly and without having to change all the rest of the code.

Continuously update security protocols, conduct regular risk assessments, and ensure compliance with industry standards. Educate your team on cybersecurity best practices and monitor for vulnerabilities throughout the project lifecycle. Proactive threat detection and response planning are key to staying ahead of risks.
