Lessons Learned

Proactive security is more cost-effective than reacting to breaches. Integrating security into the development process through DevSecOps helps identify vulnerabilities early. Regularly rotating IAM keys and continuous monitoring of threats are essential for maintaining a secure environment. Investing in security prevents potentially far higher costs from data breaches.
