Frequently Asked Questions
What are secure coding practices?
They are habits and rules that help developers write software resistant to attack, such as validating input, encoding output, using parameterised queries, applying least privilege and handling errors safely.
Which vulnerabilities do secure coding practices prevent?
They help prevent injection, cross-site scripting, broken authentication, insecure deserialization and access control flaws, all of which regularly appear in the OWASP Top 10 list of web application risks.
How can I practice secure coding?
Work through vulnerable examples, fix them and understand why each fix works. The Secure Coding Practices room on Codelivly is free and hands-on, covering foundational principles you can apply in any language.
