Security Best Practices

• 1. Keep Dependencies Updated: Regularly check and update third-party packages to patch known vulnerabilities.
• 2. Use Environment Variables: Never hardcode secrets or credentials into your codebase.
• 3. Validate and Sanitize Input: Prevent injection attacks by always validating user input on both client and server.
• 4. Apply Least Privilege Principle: Give only the minimum access required for components or users to function.
• 5. Enable HTTPS: Always use HTTPS to encrypt data in transit.
• 6. Implement Rate Limiting: Protect against brute force attacks by limiting repeated requests.
• 7. Monitor and Log Security Events: Track login attempts, errors, and unexpected behavior for analysis.
• 8. Regular Security Audits: Perform manual and automated reviews of your code and dependencies.
• 9. Use Multi-Factor Authentication: Add an extra layer of protection for critical accounts.
• 10. Secure APIs: Use authentication, authorization, and validation consistently across all API endpoints.
