How to Manage Security Debt as a Startup

What do you know about security debt? Security debt is a lot like technical debt, but my experience suggests that far fewer leaders at startups spend as much time thinking about their security debt. You accrue security debt when you make a security decision that’s easier now even though it will cost you more time to fix later. As a leader of your organization, it’s also your job to manage security debt. But how do you do that? Eric Boersma is here to help on Sqreen’s blog.

And Christian Melendez is here to give you some top security practices on Sqreen’s blog.

A FaaS system hides all the infrastructure details from you, even more so than Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). Whenever you need to scale a PaaS application, you typically add extra server processes. In a FaaS system, you just add more executions. That’s all quite abstract, isn’t it? Don’t worry, Peter Morlion is here to help you out on Scalyr’s blog.
