3. COMMON SECURITY THREATS
• SQL Injection
Injecting malicious SQL code to retrieve or manipulate
data
• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Stealing session cookies or redirecting to malicious sites
• Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
Changing user settings or making unauthorized
transactions
• Buffer Overflow
Executing arbitrary code or crashing the system

4. Secure
Coding
Practices
•Input Validation
Description: Ensuring all inputs are
verified and sanitized
Examples: Whitelisting, regex
validation
•Authentication and Authorization
Description: Implementing strong
authentication mechanisms and
access controls
Examples: Multi-factor authentication
(MFA), role-based access control

5. Secure
Coding
Practices
•Error Handling
Description: Properly managing
errors without revealing sensitive
information
Examples: Generic error messages,
logging errors securely
•Encryption
Description: Protecting data at rest
and in transit
Examples: SSL/TLS for data in
transit, AES for data at rest

6. Security Analysis Tools
• Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
Tools: SonarQube, Fortify, Checkmarx
• Dynamic Application Security Testing
(DAST)
Tools: OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, AppScan

7. Security Analysis Tools
• Interactive Application Security Testing
(IAST)
Tools: Contrast Security, Veracode
• Dependency Scanning
Tools: Snyk, Dependabot, WhiteSource

8. Best
Practices
• Regular Security Training
Ensuring development teams
are aware of the latest security
threats and mitigation
strategies
• Adopting a Security-First
Mindset
Integrating security
considerations into every
phase of the development

9. Best
Practices
• Automating Security
Checks
Using CI/CD pipelines to
incorporate automated security
testing
• Implementing Security
Policies
Defining and enforcing security
policies within the organization

10. Conclusion
Security is not a one-time effort
but a continuous journey. Stay
vigilant, stay updated, and
make security a core part of
your development culture.
