Security is not only the responsibility of a separate security team. Developers can reduce many risks by following simple habits during everyday coding and deployment.
I focus on strong authentication, careful input validation, password reset safety, protected environment variables and avoiding sensitive information in public repositories.
For web applications, it is important to validate data on the server, handle errors safely and use secure configuration when deploying to cloud or hosting platforms.
As a Master of IT Cyber Security student and full-stack developer, I want my applications to be both useful and safe for users.
