[ WHY_SECURITY_MATTERS ]

In modern software development, security is not an afterthought. According to Verizon DBIR 2026, 86% of all companies are affected by security incidents. Average cost: $4.88 million (IBM 2026).

⚠️ [ COMMON_DEVELOPER_MISTAKES ]

  • ✗ Missing input validation
  • ✗ SQL injection via string concatenation
  • ✗ XSS through unfiltered output
  • ✗ Weak authentication without MFA
  • ✗ Outdated dependencies with CVEs

[ OWASP_TOP_10_2025 ]

The OWASP Top 10 are the most important security risks for web applications:

  1. Broken Access Control - Insufficient access control
  2. Cryptographic Failures - Weak encryption
  3. Injection - SQL, NoSQL, Command Injection
  4. Insecure Design - Security vulnerabilities in design
  5. Security Misconfiguration - Misconfigurations
  6. Vulnerable Components - Vulnerable components
  7. Authentication Failures - Authentication failures
  8. Data Integrity Failures - Data integrity problems
  9. Logging Failures - Insufficient logging
  10. SSRF - Server-Side Request Forgery

[ BEST_PRACTICES ]

  • ✓ Input Validation: Validate all inputs (whitelisting)
  • ✓ Prepared Statements: Use parameterized queries
  • ✓ HTTPS/TLS: Encrypt all connections (TLS 1.3)
  • ✓ Security Headers: CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options
  • ✓ Dependency Scanning: npm audit, Snyk, Dependabot
  • ✓ MFA: Implement multi-factor authentication
