description: Most security professionals dont have the words security or hacker in their job title. Instead as a developer or admin you often have to fit in security alongside your official responsibilities  building and maintaining computer systems. Implement the basics of good security now and youll have a solid foundation if you bring in a dedicated security staff later. Identify the weaknesses in your system and defend against the attacks most likely to compromise your organization without needing to become a trained security professional.
