From the course: Ten Security Tips for Developers

Ten developer security tips

- [Morten] When you open an app or a website on your phone or computer, the last thing on your mind should be whether you can safely use it. You have a reasonable expectation that whomever built a digital service you're accessing did their due diligence and made every effort to protect you, their user, from harm. Now let me ask you a possibly uncomfortable question. Did you do your due diligence when it came to security in your latest project? Did you even consider security or was that something you left to another team member or the framework or tool or service you used? Security is one of those very important things that is very easy to forget when we're given minimal time and minimal budgets to build complex online services our employees and our clients and our users expect. Taking on security issues often feels nebulous and time-consuming and easily becomes one of those things to be addressed later by someone else, if time permits. Let's change that tune right now in this course. I've compiled 10 developer security tips and best practices you and me and everyone else who writes and edits code can implement right away to make their applications and their users safer. Security is essential and I'm here to show you how to get it right, so let's get cracking.
