security-and-hardening

Harden web applications against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities by enforcing input validation, parameterized queries, secure cookies, and encoding. This process applies security controls to prevent injection, XSS, and insecure session management.

Implement input validation and rate limiting for authentication by applying boundary sanitization, secure password hashing, and explicit request throttling. This approach prevents injection attacks and brute-force credential compromise.

Perform a pre-release security review for APIs handling file uploads and webhooks by analyzing authentication, input validation, and external integrations. This review generates a prioritized remediation checklist for configuration and code fixes.

Manage secrets and security headers to prevent accidental PII exposure by enforcing secure defaults, CORS restrictions, and safe data handling patterns. This configuration stops accidental API key leakage and unauthorized cross-origin access.

This security hardening approach works for third-party service integrations by validating external payloads and enforcing secure communication defaults. It ensures external webhooks and API connections satisfy input validation and secrets management requirements.
