Overview A core principle of cloud security is defense-in-depth, a layered approach that hardens infrastructure against potential threats. One of the most overlooked yet fundamental hardening practices involves network configurations for critical data services. For organizations leveraging Amazon Redshift, this includes addressing the security implications of using its vendor-supplied default TCP port, 5439. Leaving this […]
