Application security
Learn how to use Laravel in authorization to your application.
Security is an ongoing process: you’ll need to regularly reassess your system for vulnerabilities.
Take a look at the difference between authentication and authorization and what works best for you.
You want a system in place to grade severity so you know where to focus your efforts, and in what order.
Technology evolves so quickly that it requires you to constantly revisit your security to stay ahead of new vulnerabilities.
Companies often think of attackers as something that comes from the outside, yet overlook the far more dangerous threat: attackers from within.
In order to defend, it’s important to understand who the attacker is and what motivates them.
Explore the assumptions you’ve made about your application, and try to get the system to respond in ways it isn’t supposed to.
For many companies, getting started on securing their application is riddled with logistical and practical challenges.
When you postpone security until later in the software development process, that delay costs you enormously in obvious and unexpected ways.
