Architecting for security: the old ways
It's incredibly easy to put systems online. Between EC2, Digital Ocean, Rackspace, Oracle, IBM, GCP, Hetzner and various others, anybody can spin up a free virtual machine. There's stuff like lambda and heroku which is are disembodied python interpreters you can buy access to. IOT devices phone home and become accessible. The internet is getting packed with stuff and the old ways of "put a firewall in front of it" seem to have disappeared - lots of stuff is just .. public! Applying a bit of architecture know-how can massively reduce attack surfaces, and if you take it a bit further it can seriously aggrivate attackers. Let me show you how!
