• Always use HTTPS in production
• Set appropriate token expiration times for JWT tokens
• Implement proper token refresh mechanisms
• Store JWT secrets securely

• Keep SSL certificates up to date
• Configure strong SSL/TLS protocols and ciphers
• Use HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)
• Consider implementing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers

• Validate all input data
• Implement rate limiting to prevent abuse
• Use CORS with appropriate restrictions
• Follow the principle of least privilege for API routes and handlers

• Regularly update dependencies to keep them free of known vulnerabilities
• Consider using tools like npm audit, Snyk, or Dependabot to monitor dependencies
