Secure Coding
Cybersecurity
Secure coding refers to the practice of writing software in ways that proactively prevent security vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, buffer overflows, and insecure data handling. Developers apply secure coding standards and guidelines, like those from OWASP, and use practices such as input validation, proper authentication, and encryption to reduce the risk of exploitation. It's an increasingly essential skill for software engineers, especially those working on applications that handle sensitive data or are exposed to the internet.
