Cyber-criminals have your web applications in their crosshairs. They exploit common security mistakes in your web application to steal user data. Learn how you can secure your Node.js applications, database and web server; discover the primary attack vectors against web applications; and implement security best practices and effective countermeasures.

You’ll protect your database calls from database injection attacks and securely handle user authentication within your application. You’ll configure your servers securely and build in proper access controls, defend your application from denial of service attacks, and understand how malicious actors break in to web applications to steal information and disrupt operations. And you’ll protect user data flowing in and out of the application.

Coding securely will make you a stronger web developer and analyst, and you’ll protect your users.


“The Node.js community has been waiting for a book like this. For all of Node.js’s ease, it comes at a cost: security. This book eases that cost.”
