Maximize Code Security in Your NestJS Applications (Part 1)

As a developer, we all know how critical code security is. The recent data breaches at <a href="https://www.optus.com.au/about/media-centre/media-releases/2022/09/optus-notifies-customers-of-cyberattack" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Optus</a> and <a href="https://www.medibank.com.au/health-insurance/info/cyber-security/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Medibank </a>highlight the importance of code security again. So, the question is: how can we write secure code to prevent various types of attacks in web applications? Following best practices to write secure code is essential to protect our App against vulnerabilities and threats. Before we dive into how to prevent the security risk? let’s first examine the most common types of security risks. This will give us a better understanding of the challenges of securing our App. The OWASP Top 10 is a widely accepted list of the most critical security risks for web applications, as determined through consensus among industry experts. Below is the list of the top 10 risks in 2017 and 2021. <img alt="top security risks" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:630/1*ObUHh3Z9GbA8jFlBoTHaXg.png" style="height:208px; width:700px" /> Source: <a href="https://owasp.org/www-project-top-ten/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">https://owasp.org/www-project-top-ten/</a> Many of the top 10 are critical for the security of web Apps. As part 1 of a two-part article, I will walk through a few risks and the best practices you can follow to prevent the risk. <a href="https://levelup.gitconnected.com/maximize-code-security-in-your-nestjs-applications-part-1-b7abb99fa048">Click Here</a>
