The toplist of securing your developer workstation
summary
Corporate breaches escalate fast: 58% of breaches gain full domain control within 2 hours. Concrete mitigations include using a password manager with a 17-character master password and preferring hardware tokens (U2F/SmartCards), enabling true challenge‑response MFA, encrypting disks (BitLocker/FileVault) and powering off during transport, restricting and regularly reviewing privileges, avoiding uncurated package sources (brew, winget) and risky plugins (VS Code RCE cases), and isolating risky tools in VMs or containers rather than running everything as admin.
