Spent the last few weeks working hands-on with Identity & Access Management inside Cybersecurity. Sharing a few practical lessons that would have saved me time if I'd known them on day one.

Small team, Postgres + a Node API, everything on a single cloud provider. Right now our database password and third-party API keys live in environment variables and have not been rotated since we set them up. Managed vaults are the obvious answer but the pricing starts above what this project can justify. What I am considering: 1. The cloud provider's own secret manager — cheap, but ties us to them harder than I would like. 2. SOPS with age keys committed to the repo, decrypted at deploy. 3. Just rotating manually on a calendar reminder and accepting the risk. For those of you running small production systems: what actually works in practice, not in theory? I would rather hear "we do option 3 and it is fine" than a best-practice answer nobody follows.

We're logging auth events, API access, and admin actions but retention is unbounded right now and storage costs are creeping up. What's a sensible default retention window for a 15-person startup without dedicated security staff?

TLDR: Can two Exchange servers coexist in the same domain and send/receive mail (no DAG)? If yes, how? Here's what I found after testing in a lab environment...

Wanted to share a recent experience applying Penetration Testing on a live project under Cybersecurity. Happy to go into more detail on what worked and what didn't if anyone's curious.

Can two Exchange servers coexist in the same domain and send/receive mail without a DAG configured, even temporarily during a migration? If yes, how? Looking for anyone who has tested this in a lab or done it in production.

Trying to build a solid foundation in Compliance as part of Cybersecurity. Any recommended resources, or a real project idea to practice with, that actually reflects how it's used in production?

A leaked API key led to unexpected usage charges before we caught it. Our incident runbook assumed we'd notice from monitoring alerts — we actually noticed from a billing anomaly two days later. Rewrote the runbook to include billing alerts as a first-class detection signal, not just an afterthought.

Assumed passkeys would be a hard sell internally given how new the UX still feels to a lot of non-technical staff. Rolled it out as an option alongside password+2FA rather than a mandate, and within a month over 60% of the team had switched voluntarily once they saw how much faster login was.

Trying to restrict browser-based downloads for a subset of machines on our domain without breaking legitimate business use. Group Policy Objects seem like the right tool but the exact settings for modern Chrome/Edge policies aren't well documented anywhere I've found.
