Security standards
Security is always paramount for the IT industry. It is inevitable to not define the standards that a bot should follow. To do this, there should be guidelines that developers can follow throughout the development process. This not only applies to development but also to design so there is no room for security breaches. Some of the ways we can achieve this are as follows:
- Predefining the bot access and evaluating it based on the actions it is going to perform will give you an idea of whether the bot has access it does not need, to avoid it from becoming a security issue. Having a resource-based access control (RBAC) design will make sure that the bot doesn’t get any extra access. Also, baking the information security guideline into the framework will ensure it is implemented without fail.
- Do not hardcode any sensitive information, such as API keys and tokens, within the code. Rather, storing this sensitive information in a centralized database...
