Identifying in OWA logs any attempt to tamper with a webmail server
Good morning/afternoon/night all. First post here. Hope someone can help me. I'm currently undergoing a cyber-security internship. One of my tasks is to identify, through Error codes (ie 401 403 500...) in OWA logs, all attempts to tamper with the webmail server. Now there is a lot of explanations online for the definition of error codes and all.I have come to the conclusion that 4xx and 5xx codes are the most interesting ones. But i have failed to determine which ones are interesting and may indicate a hack, if repetitive in the logs.Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

How critical is MFA for production?
Our team is now configuring a production site (kS8 at Google Cloud) and had a discussion - how critical is having MFA/VPN access to production vs using only strong passwords with single factor auth?p.s. I understand the implications of these configuration, just curious practically in real world what people are doing

Explain encrypted databases to me
I feel like I should get this, but somehow I don't. I don't understand how encrypting a database improves security. Let me explain my understanding of the process, and maybe you can tell me where my understanding is wrong.As I understand it, you encrypt a database by setting a key that is used to encrypt the data. Then you use the same key to decrypt data that you retrieve from the database.What doesn't make sense to me in that scenario is that you have the key sitting there on your server for both encryption and decryption. If someone hacks into your system, they can just get the key that's sitting there. So how does the encryption help?So I think I'm just missing something here. Explanations and teaching would be welcome.
