This course is your guide for securing Node.js applications. You'll start by properly sanitizing user input and output, and then move on to some fundamental protocols, such as HTTPS and SHA. Passwords and encryption will be discussed next. More specifically, you will learn about different hashing algorithms and protecting your application from brute force attacks.

Following that, you'll explore concepts like authentication, access control, and obfuscation. You will also learn about XSS, CSRF, and other popular hacks near the end of the course.

By the end of this course, you will know how to secure a Node.js application, an in-demand skill to put on your resume!
