Small Talk: mindfulness when surfing the web at work

While on the clock, it’s crucial that you and your employees use the internet wisely. Everyone needs a break, and watching the occasional funny video can actually be a healthy habit. But that doesn’t mean you can be careless, either. Everyone on your team should know how to browse wisely, securely, and respectfully while working or using company devices. Some basic online awareness can also be one of the most effective plays in small business security, while keeping your team mindful participants in a web-friendly workplace.

Introducing 1Password for Visual Studio Code

Secrets are used everywhere in our code. Sometimes, though, we forget when we’ve been using real secrets in our work. Maybe there’s a leftover token you dropped in to build that one feature, or maybe you didn’t delete the .env file you set up to test drive the app. Now you’ve got to rotate your secrets because you accidentally committed and pushed sensitive values for the whole world to see. Yikes. We’ve all been there. That’s why we’re delighted to announce the launch of the all-new 1Password for VS Code extension.

What is a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack?

If you don’t work in IT or security, there’s no need to fret about every detail of every online danger. Nevertheless, it’s worth having awareness of the strategies and techniques that criminals are using to achieve their goals online. In this explainer, we’ll be breaking down DDoS attacks to help you understand the basics and how you can be affected.

Go ahead, delete your .env.example file

When we develop software, it’s common practice for engineers to require system configuration in order to run a program. We specify instructions on how to set up your own local environment in a .env.example file or README.md file. We need to do manual work to keep our local environments up to date so they continue to work. Often, this is a struggle. With the launch of 1Password Developer Tools, let’s take a closer peek at an alternative way to collaborate on configuration to remove the hassle – and securely store and synchronize the sensitive values that we should keep secret.
