  • It’s hard to give tips without knowing your situation better, but here are a few general ones that probably already set you apart from the vast majority of other small companies:

    • Keep your stuff updated, especially when there are security fixes available
    • don’t take convenience shortcuts that compromise on security (e.g. relying on “security through obscurity”)
    • block incoming traffic by default (you only need some people from your country to access the network? Maybe even block ip ranges from the other side of the world)
    • log access to your network and also analyse the logs often (probably with the help of some software)

    I’m just some Software Engineer with a few years of experience, not some security expert though😅


  • Mostly the same. I tried ChatGPT a few times to get it to generate some code, but mostly it produced code that didn’t even compile and when I asked it to fix it, it created code that didn’t compile in a different way. I enjoy writing code on my own a lot more than having to review some pre-generated code.

    Though I use it as a glorified Google sometimes and that is not even so bad.
