The Importance of Security in Elixir Development
Elixir applications are exposed to potential threats online, making security a crucial consideration for developers. A major concern is that even small projects can attract unwanted attention from malicious actors once they are visible on the internet. Developers often underestimate this risk, believing they are too small to be targeted, but security experts indicate that attacks can be automated, so no one is immune. Therefore, implementing security measures right from the start of a project, rather than waiting until after development, is vital for maintaining integrity.
