Secure Coding Guidance
This guide has been designed for developers, teams, and partners working on Guidewire implementations. Whether you're an experienced developer or just getting started, this guide will help you strengthen your code against security threats and protect your applications from common vulnerabilities.
In this guide, we’ll cover the most common security pitfalls developers face and provide practical tips to avoid them. While we won’t cover every security issue, this guide is a solid starting point for building more secure implementations. We’ll point you to trusted resources like OWASP for deeper dives into specific topics.
Following this guide will enhance the security of your Guidewire implementations and help better safeguard your organization’s assets.
Why Secure Coding?
Guidewire products are built with security in mind from the ground up, offering a secure foundation for your implementations. However, securing software continues beyond there. By adopting secure coding practices, you add essential layers of protection to your implementations.
Writing secure code is essential in today's interconnected world, where systems are more exposed than ever. The consequences of insecure code can be significant, including data loss, regulatory fines, and a loss of customer trust.
Where Do We Begin?
To get started, we recommend approaching security as a key part of your development process. By understanding and addressing security risks from the start, you ensure that your code remains robust and resilient against threats.
How To Use This Guide
- Identify Security Risks: Learn how to spot common vulnerabilities in your Guidewire implementations and how to exploit them.
- Apply Best Practices: Follow proven coding practices that secure your applications against these threats.
- Adapt to Evolving Threats: Stay current with security trends by leveraging resources like OWASP and other industry-standard frameworks.
