Secure Coding: Practices to Reduce Vulnerabilities
Secure Coding: Practices to Reduce Vulnerabilities Security starts with design and carries through every line of code. By treating security as a core part of development, teams reduce the chance of flaws that could be exploited. Simple, repeatable practices help coders of any level stay on course and ship safer software. Common vulnerability areas deserve steady attention. Input handling must assume data is untrusted. Authentication and session management should verify users reliably. Access control needs clear rules. Errors and logs must guard secrets while still revealing enough information to diagnose issues. Cryptography should rely on trusted libraries, with secrets kept outside the code. Finally, the supply chain matters: keeping dependencies current and well managed reduces risky surprises. ...
