Technical Seminar Series: Laravel Security Standards

As a part of the continual efforts to accelerate the skill quotient of our technical workforce, Singsys has embarked upon a series of ‘Technical Seminars’. Accordingly, it’s very first version was conducted successfully enumerating ‘Laravel Security Standards’ by our Laravel Expert, Mr. Prasoon Srivastava, and Mr. Prabal Gupta being the Seminar Chair for this session.

“Laravel is the premiere PHP framework for mission-critical, production-ready applications.” 

There’s hasn’t any dilemanal grounds pertaining the supremacy of ‘Laravel’ as a significant development framework, but primal security standards that it offers go un-attended by developers in general. So as to well educate  the laravel developers upon practising significant security standards that Laravel provides, the session was conducted focussing:

• Reducing Laravel Vulnerabilities From CSRF (Cross Site Request Forgery)

• Protection against XSS (Cross Site Scripting)

• Preventing SQL injection By Avoiding Raw Queries

• Keeping app dependencies up to date

• Logging All the things

• Forcing HTTPS if the Application is Exchanging Sensitive Information

The seminar was well lauded by the attendees with significant learning takeaways as well. The initiative of incorporating a checklist of action items along with the regular coding practices per the subject matter was taken up  to ensure maintaining better standards.
