Node.js Security

Course Description

The benefits of the NodeJS platform keep growing, but it can still suffer from the same common web vulnerabilities as other web application frameworks and platforms. This course looks at solutions to common security pitfalls associated with using ExpressJS, Pug, and MongoDB. We'll also examine preventive measures for building a more secure application using a defense-in-depth approach.

Learning Objectives

Use bcrypt for password storage
Avoid common access control mistakes
Use HTTP headers for additional transport and session security
Audit third-party dependencies for known vulnerabilities
