Quick Start

For Developers

  1. Authentication: All services use JWT tokens
  2. Authorization: Use role decorators from shared/auth/access_control.py
  3. Database: Connections automatically use TLS
  4. Secrets: Never commit credentials - use Kubernetes secrets

For Operations

  1. TLS Certificates: Stored in infrastructure/tls/
  2. Backup Script: scripts/encrypted-backup.sh
  3. Password Rotation: scripts/generate-passwords.sh
  4. Monitoring: Check audit logs regularly

Common Security Tasks

Rotate Database Passwords

# Generate new passwords
./scripts/generate-passwords.sh

# Update environment files
./scripts/update-env-passwords.sh

# Update Kubernetes secrets
./scripts/update-k8s-secrets.sh

Create Encrypted Backup

# Backup all databases
./scripts/encrypted-backup.sh

# Restore specific database
gpg --decrypt backup_file.sql.gz.gpg | gunzip | psql -U user -d database

Regenerate TLS Certificates

# Regenerate all certificates (before expiry)
cd infrastructure/tls
./generate-certificates.sh

# Update Kubernetes secrets
./scripts/create-tls-secrets.sh

Security Best Practices

For Developers

  1. Never hardcode credentials - Use environment variables
  2. Always use role decorators on sensitive endpoints
  3. Validate input - Prevent SQL injection and XSS
  4. Log security events - Failed auth, permission denied
  5. Use parameterized queries - Never concatenate SQL
  6. Implement rate limiting - Prevent brute force attacks

For Operations

  1. Rotate passwords regularly - Every 90 days
  2. Monitor audit logs - Check for suspicious activity
  3. Keep certificates current - Renew before expiry
  4. Test backups - Verify restoration procedures
  5. Update dependencies - Apply security patches
  6. Review access - Remove unused accounts

Incident Response

Security Incident Checklist

  1. Identify the scope and impact
  2. Contain the threat (disable compromised accounts)
  3. Eradicate the vulnerability
  4. Recover affected systems
  5. Document the incident
  6. Review and improve security measures

Emergency Contacts

  • Security incidents should be reported immediately
  • Check audit logs: /var/log/postgresql/ in database pods
  • Review application logs for suspicious patterns
