Offensive Security Using Python
By :

Deploying Python applications securely involves following best practices to minimize vulnerabilities and ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of your application. This section covers key strategies for secure deployment, including environment configuration, dependency management, secure server configuration, logging and monitoring, and regular security reviews.
Proper environment configuration is crucial for securing your application. It involves managing sensitive information and separating environments to reduce the risk of exposure and ensure secure deployment.
Storing sensitive information such as database credentials, API keys, and secret tokens directly in your code can lead to security breaches if the code is exposed. Instead, use environment variables to manage these secrets securely, as in this example:
import os db_password = os.getenv...
