Bitbucket tightens security on private code

Atlassian recently added IP whitelisting and two-step verification to Bitbucket, its cloud-based version control system, to give administrators stronger controls on who can view, push, or clone a private code repository.

The first step in information security is to identify the crown jewels — the information that, if stolen, will be critically damaging to the organization — then make sure they are protected. For many, that means restricting who has access to the code repository containing the application source code.

Atlassian actually added two-step verification as an optional feature to Bitbucket back in 2015. The current change gives administrators the ability to require developers to use two-step verification in order to access restricted repositories. This way, the administrators can enforce the level of security required instead of leaving it up to individual developers.
