We take security seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, please follow these steps:

Security vulnerabilities should be reported privately to prevent exploitation.

Send an email to: security@cyber-container-platform.com

Include the following information:

• Description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce the issue
• Potential impact and severity
• Any suggested fixes or mitigations

• Response time: We'll acknowledge receipt within 48 hours
• Investigation: We'll investigate and provide updates within 7 days
• Resolution: We'll work with you to resolve the issue
• Credit: We'll credit you in our security advisories (if desired)

1. Change default credentials immediately after installation
2. Use strong passwords for all accounts
3. Enable SSL/TLS in production environments
4. Keep Docker updated to the latest version
5. Restrict network access to the platform
6. Regular backups of your data and configuration
7. Monitor logs for suspicious activity

1. Input validation - Always validate and sanitize user input
2. Authentication - Use strong authentication mechanisms
3. Authorization - Implement proper access controls
4. Encryption - Encrypt sensitive data in transit and at rest
5. Dependencies - Keep dependencies updated
6. Security headers - Implement proper security headers
7. Error handling - Don't expose sensitive information in errors

• ✅ JWT Authentication - Secure token-based authentication
• ✅ Input Validation - Comprehensive input validation and sanitization
• ✅ Security Headers - CSP, XSS protection, frame options
