Security is not a launch-week checklist—it is an ongoing engineering responsibility. Modern web apps face automated scanning, credential stuffing, and supply-chain risks daily.
Align your controls with OWASP guidance and validate them through regular testing—not assumptions.
Priority Controls
Implement secure authentication, input validation, CSRF protection, rate limiting, secrets management, and dependency scanning in your delivery pipeline.
- Enforce HTTPS and HSTS everywhere
- Use parameterized queries / ORM protections
- Apply least-privilege access for services and admins
- Log and alert on anomalous authentication patterns
OWASP Risk Priority Matrix
| Risk | Example | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Injection | SQL injection | ORM + validation |
| Broken auth | Weak session handling | MFA + secure cookies |
| XSS | Unescaped user input | Output encoding & CSP |
| Misconfiguration | Open S3 buckets | Infrastructure audits |
Key Takeaways
- Schedule periodic penetration tests for critical apps.
- Rotate secrets and audit third-party integrations.
- Train developers on secure coding patterns annually.
