I'd go with option C. Gotta love those custom IDS signatures - they're like the cybersecurity version of a secret handshake.

Sharing the source code with sales partners? Yeah, that's a great idea if they want to be the next target of a data breach. Hard pass on option A.

I don't know, man. Logging connection requests from outside hosts seems like the easiest and most straightforward solution to me. Why overcomplicate things?
