Best Security Practices for Software Development

Developers now publish 133 new vulnerabilities per day, yet exploits arrive within days. Security must be built in from code's first line.
Tips to protect your data and privacy

Protecting source code requires layered controls: access management, encryption, continuous monitoring, and supply chain oversight.

When GitHub is breached, attackers steal code, credentials, and supply chain access—with costs extending far beyond the repository.

Repository attacks compromise source code and credentials at scale—SSH, MFA, and access controls are now legally required.

Developers overlook the warning signs of account compromise—unauthorized logins, phantom commits, and suspicious token usage are your first clues to act.

API keys exposed in code, logs, or backups can grant attackers full system access within hours—here's how to prevent it.

A compromised SSO provider gives attackers potential access to every connected system. Here's how to respond.

Restrict OAuth app permissions to the minimum required, audit your connected apps every few months, and revoke access immediately to services you no longer use.

Securing your SSO master account with multi-factor authentication and monitoring is essential to prevent attackers from accessing dozens of connected services.

Hardware tokens prevent phishing and credential theft by keeping your authentication keys locked inside tamper-resistant devices.
