Security best practices in NestJS
Securing a web application is not just about patching individual vulnerabilities; it’s about adopting a holistic approach that integrates security into every aspect of the development and deployment life cycle. In this section, we’ll discuss the best practices for ensuring that your NestJS application is secure, resilient, and ready to handle the challenges of the modern web.
