What are some security best practices?

  • Adding CSRF Token is a critical security measure for protecting web applications from unauthorized data submissions from other websites
  • Install SSL Certificate
  • Keep all libraries and frameworks up-to-date to avoid vulnerabilities found in older versions.
  • Limit User Permissions and Access
  • Always validate user input to protect against common vulnerabilities like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and command injection. This should be done both on the client side for user experience and on the server side for security.
  • Define and enforce a strict CORS policy to prevent unauthorized domains from accessing your resources.
  • Use captcha
  • Utilize content security policies to prevent XSS attacks. Escape user input in HTML output to ensure that any input is rendered harmless.
  • Implement CSP headers to control the sources of various content types and mitigate XSS attacks.
  • Use X-Frame-Options or Content Security Policy (CSP) to prevent your website from being framed by malicious sites.
  • Use the Secure and HttpOnly flags for cookies to prevent access by client-side scripts and to ensure they're sent over HTTPS.
  • Set HTTP headers: "Referrer-Policy": "no-referrer"
  • Disable iframe embedding
  • Implement rate limiting and throttling to prevent brute-force attacks.
  • Regularly conduct security audits and penetration testing to identify and fix vulnerabilities.
