Advanced Security Guide

Welcome to the Advanced Security Guide! This section covers various advanced security concepts and best practices to help you secure your applications and systems effectively.

Common Threats

Here are some common security threats that you should be aware of:

• SQL Injection: Attackers can manipulate SQL queries to access or modify data.
• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Malicious scripts are injected into web pages viewed by other users.
• Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF): Attackers trick users into performing actions without their consent.

Best Practices

To protect your applications and systems, follow these best practices:

• Use Secure Passwords: Enforce strong password policies and use multi-factor authentication where possible.
• Implement HTTPS: Encrypt data in transit to prevent eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks.
• Keep Software Updated: Regularly update your software and dependencies to patch security vulnerabilities.
• Sanitize Input: Validate and sanitize user input to prevent SQL injection and XSS attacks.
• Use CSRF Tokens: Prevent CSRF attacks by implementing CSRF tokens in your applications.
