@rainforestqa rainforest Understanding risk
rainforest @rainforestqa Understand the trade off More secure generally means
more effort
@rainforestqa rainforest Risk vs Exposure
@rainforestqa rainforest High Risks Hot wallets / key storage Outgoing
payments Physically shipped items Reversible payments (e.g. chargebacks)
@rainforestqa rainforest …more risks Shared hosting / VPS / “physical”
security Staff
@rainforestqa rainforest Limiting Exposure Storing keys Hot wallets -> Cold
wallets, where poss Principle of least privilege

@rainforestqa rainforest OS + software updates Automate provisioning Hire pen-testing
Have a security program
@rainforestqa rainforest Transactions & locking (see Flexcoin / Poloniex)
@rainforestqa rainforest Network IDS / IDPS / HIDS Firewall (both
ways) -complex-
@rainforestqa rainforest External services Verify SSL certs Limit IPs Work
