Last month, a client called me in a panic. Their e-commerce site had been breached, with customer data exposed and their reputation in tatters. As I worked through the forensics, the cause was depressingly familiar: a combination of unpatched dependencies, improper access controls, and insufficient encryption practices.

What made this particularly frustrating was how preventable it had been. The vulnerability exploited had been documented months earlier, but in the rush to ship features, security updates had been neglected.

This incident reminded me why I'm passionate about integrating security into the development lifecycle. In this post, I'll share concrete, practical security practices for modern web applications based on real-world experiences and lessons – sometimes learned the hard way.
