Phishing Awareness vs Encryption
Developers should learn phishing awareness to protect sensitive data, code repositories, and infrastructure from unauthorized access, as phishing attacks often target technical staff to compromise systems or steal intellectual property meets developers should learn encryption to implement security in applications handling sensitive data, such as user passwords, financial transactions, or personal information, to comply with regulations like gdpr or hipaa. Here's our take.
