Web security is an essential aspect of any web application. Learning how to secure a Rickshaw application, including topics such as cross-site scripting (XSS) and cross-site request forgery (CSRF), is important to protect users' data and prevent attacks.

Authentication: Understanding different types of authentication, such as two-factor authentication, single sign-on, and OAuth. It refers to verifying the identity of a user or a system.
Authorization: It is the process of determining the privileges or access level of a user, service, or application.
Cryptography: Cryptographic techniques are used to protect data during transmission and storage. Examples include encryption, decryption, digital signatures, and hash functions.
Network Security: Securing networks involve protecting the physical and virtual infrastructure of the system by identifying, preventing, and responding to threats.
Web Application Security: Web application security refers to the protection of websites from various types of attacks, including SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and DDoS attacks.
Security frameworks: Understanding different security frameworks such as ISO 27001, Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP), and the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP).
Secure Software Development: Secure software development involves developing secure coding practices, testing for security vulnerabilities, and performing code reviews and audits.
Penetration testing: Penetration testing is a method of evaluating the security of a system by simulating an attack.
Incident Response: Incident response is the process of handling and mitigating security incidents when they occur.
Compliance: Understanding compliance standards such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to ensure the organization meets the regulatory requirements.
Threat Modeling: It is the process of identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing potential threats to a system.
Security policies and procedures: The development, implementation, and enforcement of security policies and procedures to ensure the organization's security posture is strong.
Cloud Security: Securing cloud-based infrastructure and services that use APIs and microservices can be challenging, understanding the risks and effective measures to secure the cloud.
Mobile Security: Securing mobile devices, applications, and backend systems to ensure the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of data.
Social Engineering: Social engineering is the process of manipulating or tricking users into divulging sensitive information.
Physical Security: Physical security involves protecting the physical access points to systems to prevent unauthorized access, loss, or damage.
Asset Management: Identify, classify, and track the organization's assets to ensure proper handling, protection and storage.
Cyber Threat Intelligence: It provides real-time data and insights into cyber threats and assists in threat detection, prevention, and response.
