#2All LevelsCryptography

A developer on your team stored user passwords as MD5 hashes. The database was breached. How do you assess the severity of this, and what should have been done instead?

#3JuniorFundamentalsSecurity-Principles

Your CISO asks you to justify why you're recommending encryption for data at rest, access logging, and a 99.9% uptime SLA all in the same project. How do you frame these three controls as a coherent security strategy?
