Secure coding is both an art and a science. Developers must understand not only how to write functional code but also how attackers think and operate.
Defense-in-Depth Principles
Key principles include:
- Input validation at every layer
- Principle of least privilege
- Secure defaults
- Defense in depth
- Fail securely
Common Vulnerabilities to Avoid
Top vulnerabilities include:
- Injection attacks (SQL, command, etc.)
- Broken authentication
- Sensitive data exposure
- XML External Entities (XXE)
- Broken access control
Building a Security-First Development Culture
Organizations should integrate security into every phase of the development lifecycle.
