In terms of network management and security, there are many ways to protect our online applications and services. From AWS GuardDuty and WAF to hand-written IAM rules; the basics of security are still the same. The principle of least privilege is key in our world of clicks and taps—and especially today—where an accidental tap or click can unleash a myriad of chaotic events for our applications and users.
In this personal choice project, created in university, I chose to dive into these topics and create a fully secure and working eCommerce website alongside a manual security check—utilizing the NIST Risk Mitigation Assessment guidelines.

Thank you, and have a sunshine-filled day! 🙂
