Protecting data against malicious users
5 min read · Posted March 16, 2021
Regardless of how well a system is maintained, 0-day exploits do exist and require additional security measures to protect against security breaches.
Surface protection
For that reason, Orbit Online reduces Orbit’s attack surfaces by requiring a user to be logged in before being able to send requests to any supporting services.
