Security 101: A Beginner’s Guide to Cybersecurity and Zero Trust for Developers
summary
Shows concrete breaches and fixes: Event-Stream/flatmap-stream supply-chain compromise where a maintainer introduced malware that stole wallet keys, the SolarWinds build-server compromise, and the claim of 16 billion losses reported to IC3 to justify urgency. Recommends measurable controls: use SCA with Dependabot or Renovate, run SAST/DAST and RASP in CI, enforce least privilege and MFA, run phishing simulations until click rates drop, and design pipelines and segmentation for assume‑breach zero‑trust so attacks require multiple failed layers to succeed.
