Security Best Practices for TheHive
Securing your TheHive instance is paramount to protect sensitive incident response data. Here are key best practices to follow after your initial setup:

adminusername andsecretpassword to strong, unique credentials immediately after installation. - Implement Strong Passwords: Use complex passwords for all user accounts, combining uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): If supported by your TheHive setup, configure MFA to add an extra layer of security against unauthorized access.
- Configure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Define and assign user roles with the principle of least privilege, ensuring users only have access to the data and functionalities necessary for their tasks.
- Keep Software Updated: Regularly update your TheHive instance and its underlying operating system to patch any known vulnerabilities and benefit from the latest security features.
- Monitor Access Logs: Consistently review system logs for unusual login attempts, unauthorized activities, or suspicious patterns.
