Security vulnerability identification involves analyzing code for authentication flaws, authorization gaps, input validation issues, and insecure data storage. SecurityGuard guides you through systematic review of these areas using OWASP Top 10 checklists, pinpointing weaknesses and recommending concrete fixes before deployment.

Authentication review covers password storage with proper hashing, session handling, and token management. Authorization checks verify role-based access control and permission enforcement. SecurityGuard provides actionable checklists to ensure login mechanisms, session timeouts, and access controls meet secure design standards.

Input validation prevents injection vulnerabilities by sanitizing and validating all user-supplied data before processing. SecurityGuard reviews input handling across APIs and forms, recommending parameterized queries, escaping, and validation rules to block common attack vectors.

Yes. SecurityGuard reviews API endpoints for authentication requirements, authorization controls, input validation, and secure data transmission. It ensures APIs enforce proper access restrictions, validate requests, and protect sensitive data in responses and transit.

Secure data storage encompasses hashing passwords, encrypting sensitive fields, protecting API keys and credentials, and ensuring safe database configuration. SecurityGuard verifies that stored secrets use industry-standard encryption and that sensitive data is never logged or exposed in error messages.

Yes. Dependency hygiene is part of SecurityGuard's coverage, reviewing third-party libraries for known vulnerabilities and outdated versions. It recommends keeping dependencies current and identifying packages that introduce security risk.
