Keep Laravel Updated

Laravel releases its updates & security patches regularly to solve known weak points. Check these updates & security patches to stay up-to-date.

Implement Strong Authentication

Authentication is the key factor for web app security. Use Laravel’s in-built user management authentication system & implement multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Sanitize User Input

Validate and sanitize user input with tools that provide tools to help prevent security threats

Protect Against Forgery

Laravel includes CSRF protection by default to generate CSRF tokens automatically. Ensure that your forms include the @csrf Blade directive.

Use Dependency Injections & Its Containers

Use Laravel's dependency injection and service container to manage your app's dependencies, which will help you write clean, secure code and protect against code injection attacks.

Secure your Database

Use strong database credentials and Laravel Query Builder or Eloquent ORM for database operations. Avoid raw SQL queries.

Implement Rate Limiting & Throttling

Secure your APIs by using Laravel's built-in rate-limiting middleware to prevent abuse and throttling.

Validate & Sanitize File Uploads

Validate and sanitize user-uploaded files to prevent malicious uploads or executable files from being added to your server.

Use Content Security Policy Headers

Implement CSP headers to mitigate cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Laravel makes it easy to set these headers in the middleware.

Monitor & Audit Your App

Use Laravel's logging features to monitor and respond to security incidents.

Follow these Laravel security best practices to keep your web app and users safe from potential vulnerabilities.
