Website Security

I take website security seriously and implement various measures to protect both my website and its visitors. This page outlines the security practices and technologies used on this site.

As a student learning about cybersecurity, I’m committed to implementing best practices and continuously improving the security posture of this website.

  • No storage of sensitive personal data

All contact form submissions are logged with security events for monitoring and analysis.

API Security

The website APIs implement robust security measures to protect against common web vulnerabilities:

  • Strict CORS policies with domain-specific origins
  • Rate limiting to prevent abuse and DDoS attacks
  • Input validation and sanitization
  • Security headers for all API responses
  • Structured logging for security monitoring
  • Proper error handling without information disclosure

Security Philosophy

”Security is not just about technology—it’s about building trust with users through transparent practices, continuous learning, and responsible data handling. As I grow in my cybersecurity journey, I’m committed to implementing security measures that protect both the website and its visitors.”
