= Basic security on a public-facing server =
Security is a topic most people aren't qualified to address. That's because it's complicated on its own, but in order to set it up properly: it also requires a solid understanding of the fundamentals of the systems which need to be secured.
That doesn't mean you can't learn it. As with most technologies, the recipe for success is simple. The more time you spend on it: the better you get. Every bit of learning you do related to security will make you more qualified. The more qualified you are to speak about security issues: the more valuable you are as a technician or engineer. Even if you're not directly responsible for security of a system: you will always have to work with them, and sometimes around them.
{{Admon/tip|Your attitude matters|Usually if you follow the rules of the organization you work for: security breaches are somebody else's problem. But not always. For example if you get your AWS Academy account suspended because your password was "123" - I won't feel bad for you, and ''you'' will have to find a way to complete the requirements of the course. And wouldn't you rather be a part of the solution anyway?}}
