Best Practices for Secure Software Development 🔒

Secure software development is critical to protecting applications from vulnerabilities. Here are key best practices to follow:

1. Threat Modeling 🛡️

• Identify potential threats early in the design phase.
• Use tools like STRIDE to categorize risks.
• Learn more about threat modeling

2. Input Validation 🧪

• Sanitize all user inputs to prevent injection attacks.
• Implement strict data type checks and length restrictions.
