A really useful perspective on application security. 👏 I liked how the article explains that security should not be treated as a final step before releasing an application, but should be considered throughout the development process.

The discussion around authentication, API protection, managing dependencies, protecting secrets, and monitoring gives a good idea of where teams need to pay attention. Finding security issues early can also save a lot of time and effort compared to fixing them after the application is already live.

Overall, a practical read for development teams that want to make security a regular part of their development process rather than an afterthought. 🔐
