Best practices for dangerous operations such as password change and reset
Use of third-party components and supply chain security (Git, CI/CD etc)
What You'll Learn
Review the defenses that can used to prevent attacks
Model risks to better understand what to defend and how
Choose appropriate techniques to defend against attacks
Implement defenses in Python/Django applications
