Laravel releases its updates & security patches regularly to solve known weak points. Check these updates & security patches to stay up-to-date.
Authentication is the key factor for web app security. Use Laravel’s in-built user management authentication system & implement multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Validate and sanitize user input with tools that provide tools to help prevent security threats
Laravel includes CSRF protection by default to generate CSRF tokens automatically. Ensure that your forms include the @csrf Blade directive.
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.
Use strong database credentials and Laravel Query Builder or Eloquent ORM for database operations. Avoid raw SQL queries.
Secure your APIs by using Laravel's built-in rate-limiting middleware to prevent abuse and throttling.
Validate and sanitize user-uploaded files to prevent malicious uploads or executable files from being added to your server.
Implement CSP headers to mitigate cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Laravel makes it easy to set these headers in the middleware.
Use Laravel's logging features to monitor and respond to security incidents.
