Principles for engineering secure systems should be established, documented, maintained and applied to any information system development activities.
Mermaid design diagrams are created before development. Risk assessments identify threats in data flow, access control, and technical constraints.
Security risk assessments determine whether a design is approved or must be stopped, this prevents flawed designs from entering development. If critical security issues are identified, development cannot proceed until all risks are remediated.
Development, staging, and production environments are completely isolated. Each has appropriate controls, access restrictions, and controlled deployment. This architectural separation prevents security incidents in one environment from impacting others.
Systems enforce authentication at every layer. Netbird provides identity-based network access, servers and cluster are secured using zero trust multi-factor authentication.
