Security by Design
In an era of sophisticated cyber threats and stringent data protection regulations (including the Kenya Data Protection Act), application security cannot be an afterthought - it must be woven into every line of code from day one.
Critical Security Layers
Input Sanitization & Parameterized Queries: Never trust raw client input. Utilize prepared statements and robust ORMs to eliminate SQL Injection (SQLi) vulnerabilities entirely.
Cryptographic CSRF Tokens: Protect state-changing operations by enforcing unique, cryptographically signed anti-forgery tokens on every HTTP POST and PUT request.
Strict Content Security Policy (CSP): Implement modern CSP, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) headers.
