Your Staging Site Is More Important than You Think

Staging environments and secondary systems are frequently overlooked in security programs but represent a significant portion of an organization's attack surface. Attackers routinely target these less-monitored systems as entry points to reach production infrastructure and sensitive data.

Why it matters: Security teams and infrastructure owners need to apply equivalent security controls to staging, testing, and development environments as they do to production systems, as compromise of these systems can lead to lateral movement into critical assets.
