In this context, “shifting left” means embedding “secure by default” practices early in the software development lifecycle (SDLC), specifically at the code and build stages, to address vulnerabilities before deployment. By contrast, “shifting right” focuses on runtime security, where operational safeguards in production environments ensure application traffic is secure and only authorized requests are processed. Kodem Security exemplifies a solution for effective shift-left adoption, enabling robust security integration without overwhelming teams with excessive signal noise from their codebases and interdependencies.

Great question! Commodity hardware generally lacks advanced physical security measures, making it susceptible to attacks involving physical tampering, such as installing malicious hardware or altering components to exploit vulnerabilities and gain direct access. To secure against these risks, implementing hardware security modules (HSMs) or requiring hardware-based encryption keys for access is recommended. HSMs provide a secure physical environment for cryptographic operations, isolating and protecting sensitive keys from physical attacks. Hardware-based encryption controls, such as TPM (Trusted Platform Module) or Intel SGX (Software Guard Extensions), add an additional layer of security by safeguarding encryption keys and sensitive computations, which can mitigate risks related to unauthorized access or data exfiltration.
