Next Steps for Staff+ Security
Explore key security habits for Staff+ engineers including automated server-side policy checks, secret scanning, short-lived tokens, and feature-flag stop switches. Understand how to implement minimal friction security measures that catch risks early and keep your delivery fast and safe while scaling your impact.
We'll cover the following...
Staff+ leverage is about making security invisible and automatic (minimal friction) and catching risks early (shift-left in design docs), so delivery stays fast and safe.
Before you move on, lock in a few habits and tools that scale:
Add one server-side policy check with a clear allow/deny log.
Turn on repo secret scanning and move secrets to a manager.
Use short-lived tokens and step-up MFA for risky actions.
Add a feature-flag stop switch to your riskiest flow.
