Here are essential security best practices to protect your applications and data:
1. Input Validation 🔒
Always validate and sanitize user inputs to prevent injection attacks (e.g., SQL, XSS).
2. Secure Authentication & Authorization 🔐
Use strong password policies, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and role-based access control (RBAC).
3. Regular Updates & Patching 🛠️
Keep dependencies and systems updated to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
4. Data Encryption 🔒
Encrypt sensitive data both at rest and in transit using TLS/SSL and strong encryption algorithms.
5. Least Privilege Principle 🛡️
Grant users and services the minimum permissions required to perform their tasks.
