What is Input Validation
Input validation stops malicious data at the door. See the CVEs — Equifax, Log4Shell, MOVEit — that prove why skipping it, or doing it wrong, is so costly.
What is Output Encoding
Output encoding neutralizes untrusted data before it reaches a browser or database -- the last line of defense against XSS, and most teams still get it wrong.
What is Input Sanitization
Input sanitization stops attacker-controlled data from executing as code. Learn how it works, how it differs from validation, and where it fails.
What Are Parameterized Queries
Parameterized queries stop SQL injection by binding user input as data instead of parsing it as SQL — here's how they work, and where they still fail.
Security Code Review Best Practices
