security-and-hardening

Threat modeling integrates into web application workflows by identifying attack surfaces during feature design and enforcing input validation and secure session handling during implementation. You draft a concise security plan outlining trust boundaries and initial mitigations.

Securing authentication and API integrations requires treating every external input as hostile, enforcing parameterized queries, and applying mandatory authorization checks. This approach mitigates risks across data storage, sessions, and external systems.

Input validation prevents OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities by treating all external inputs as hostile and enforcing strict data checks. Combined with parameterized queries and secure cookie practices, it hardens APIs against injection and unauthorized access.

Secure coding practices apply across feature design, implementation, and review stages. They enforce security as a constraint on every line of code touching user data, ensuring continuous protection rather than treating security as a separate phase.

A security plan for new features should outline trust boundaries and the first three mitigations. It incorporates threat modeling to identify attack surfaces and enforces secure defaults for authentication, data storage, and external integrations.

Secure session handling and parameterized queries harden code by protecting sacred secrets and preventing injection attacks. They establish secure defaults across authentication and data storage, mitigating unauthorized access and data leakage.
