The SSH agent (ssh-agent) is an SSH key manager that stores the SSH key in a process memory so that users can log into SSH servers without having to type the key’s passphrase every time they authenticate with the server. In addition to the key management feature, SSH agent supports agent forwarding, which helps to authenticate with servers that sit behind a bastion or jump server.
A reverse Proxy server processes all traffic between end-users and a web server. To achieve this, this type of proxy server is situated at a network's edge as an additional endpoint where it receives all initial HTTP connection requests before they're sent to the origin server (where all website data is stored). Reverse proxies can be regarded as the security guard of your network, ensuring all connection requests are legitimate and securely established.
The threat landscape is expanding and security professionals are barely keeping up. On a daily basis, CISOs and cybersecurity staff need to contend with new malware variants, data breach attempts, ransomware attacks, zero-day exploits - all while ensuring uninterrupted dedication to vendor risk mitigation efforts. With so many cyber threats testing your cyber resilience at once, where should you focus your cybersecurity efforts?
