DEVELOPER RESOURCES
Build Secure
from the Start
Essential cybersecurity resources and best practices every developer needs to build secure applications.
We often get asked by developers: 'Where do I start with security?' and 'What resources should I follow?' That's why we created this curated collection of the most essential OWASP resources – to give you a clear starting point for building secure applications.
Security Fundamentals
OWASP Top 10
The most critical web application security risks. Every developer should know and internalize these vulnerabilities to build secure applications from the ground up.

Pro Tips from Security Experts
- Set up logging and monitoring before penetration tests - it's an excellent opportunity to test your detection capabilities
- Security is not a one-time checkbox - integrate security checks into your CI/CD pipeline
- Start with the fundamentals: understand the OWASP Top 10 before diving into specific technologies
- Use security headers and enable HTTPS everywhere - these are quick wins with big impact
- Never store secrets in code - use environment variables or dedicated secret management tools
- Regularly update dependencies - most breaches exploit known vulnerabilities in outdated libraries
From Pentest to MDR Certification
“Machine Spirits helped uncover vulnerabilities in our platform early with a structured and in-depth pentest before we went through MDR certification. The clear reports and pragmatic communication helped us quickly close security gaps and efficiently update our documentation.”
