security-and-hardening

Application hardening requires enforcing input validation at boundaries and applying OWASP-aligned defenses against injection, XSS, and access control failures. It involves strengthening authentication, session handling, and role-based authorization checks across protected endpoints.

Securing API endpoints requires implementing rate limiting, safe handling of external API calls, and strict CORS policies. You must protect secrets, enforce HTTPS, set secure headers, and audit dependencies to prevent sensitive data exposure during third-party integrations.

Yes, this security review covers file uploads, webhooks, and session management. It provides implementation guidance for securing these high-risk integration points, ensuring safe cookies, proper authorization, and protected data storage across web applications.

Validating untrusted data requires enforcing strict input validation at system boundaries to reduce injection, cross-site scripting, and unsafe parsing risks. This boundary defense mechanism ensures external requests are sanitized before reaching application logic or storage layers.

Protecting sensitive data requires enforcing HTTPS, configuring safe cookies, and applying appropriate security headers. These measures prevent unauthorized access and data leakage, working alongside secrets management and dependency auditing to harden application configurations.
