Summary

In this chapter, we explored the importance of security in modern web applications and the impact that a security incident can have on the business. Then, we learned how to get started with security in our day-to-day work by using OWASP, CWE, CVE, the Node.js threat model, and the official Node.js best practices.

Additionally, we learned how we can raise the security of our applications by using a simple checklist and how to apply it in our application.

Finally, we learned how to take advantage of our security knowledge to become an ethical hacker.

In the next chapter, we are going to learn how to deploy our application to the internet and local devices in a different way.
