- [Emmanuel] Building an application is always exciting
until you realize it is missing some key security features.
Until you implement these measures,
you might be putting your users, application data,
and core of your functions at risk.
Understanding the resources and the tools available to you
to implement secured APIs is what this course is about.
Hi, I'm Emmanuel Henri
and having worked on multiple large scale projects
where security was always top of mind,
it'll be my pleasure to support you on this journey.
First, we'll look at the top web application threats
and what are the main resources to learn more about them.
Then, we'll give you an introduction on OWASP,
one of the main resource on security.
Next, we'll take a look at what you need
to put together to build your own node
and Express secure API.
And finally, we'll explore a few other libraries
built for access control.
So if you're ready to learn more about node security,
fire up your favorite editor and let's get started.
