Security Tip of the Week:
Pick three important internet-facing applications and trace each one a layer deeper this week. Identify the runtime, framework, operating system and major dependencies supporting them, then make sure somebody owns those components.

The architecture we see is only part of the environment we have to protect. As software becomes more dependent on shared runtimes, open-source packages and external trust infrastructure, understanding what sits underneath critical systems becomes part of understanding the systems themselves.
