Security Best Practices

For Users

  • Keep dependencies updated: Regularly update your dependencies
  • Use environment variables: Never commit API keys or secrets
  • Enable security features: Use HTTPS, security headers, etc.
  • Regular backups: Keep regular backups of your data
  • Monitor logs: Watch for suspicious activity

For Developers

  • Code review: All code changes are reviewed for security issues
  • Dependency scanning: Regular security scans of dependencies
  • Input validation: All user inputs are validated and sanitized
