Executive Takeaways
- Client-side validation is for UX; server-side validation is for security.
- Rate limiting must be enforced on all authentication and public inquiry endpoints.
- Strict HTTP headers and HttpOnly cookies protect against standard web attack vectors.
Modern web application security is an architectural discipline that must be woven into every line of code.
Non-negotiable security standards include server-side input validation with strict schemas (Zod), Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP security headers, Redis-backed rate limiting, HttpOnly/Secure cookies, and zero-trust parameterized database queries.
