Heartbleed Cheatsheet

Heartbleed Cheatsheet:

  • Upgrade OpenSSL on all of your existing software
  • Propose projects to remove infrastructure that can’t be upgraded (if your vendors haven’t shipped a patch, get new gear)
  • Force users to update credentials (YMMV depending on what you do, either force a re-auth, or password resets)
  • Apologize to your users for not dealing with this weeks ago.

If your employer won’t let you do these four things, the next thing to do is find a new job.

Anything less would be unprofessional.
