Chapter 7: Securing ASP.NET Web Applications

In the previous chapter, we explored the architecture considerations that should be taken into account when designing and implementing a solution architecture. Why do we need to learn this? Because creating an innovative and robust software solution requires us to plan for various aspects and consider different attributes for balancing short-term and long-term product goals and priorities. Paying attention to the quality of attributes, logging, and tracing, along with a proper deployment strategy, will help you deliver a good-quality product that is scalable, maintainable, and secure.
