Stay Ahead with the Power of Upskilling - Invest in Yourself! 
The Internet can be a scary place. These days, high-profile security gaffes seem to crop up on a daily basis. We’ve seen viruses spread with amazing speed, swarms of compromised computers wielded as weapons, a never-ending arms race against spammers, and many, many reports of identify theft from hacked Web sites.
As Web developers, we have a duty to do what we can to combat these forces of darkness. Every Web developer needs to treat security as a fundamental aspect of Web programming. Unfortunately, it turns out that implementing security is hard — attackers need to find only a single vulnerability, but defenders have to protect every single one.
Django attempts to mitigate this difficulty. It’s designed to automatically protect you from many of the common security mistakes that new (and even experienced) Web developers make. Still, it’s important to understand what these problems are, how Django protects you, and — most important — the steps you can take to make your code even more secure.
First, though, an important disclaimer: We do not intend to present a definitive guide to every known Web security exploit, and so we won’t try to explain each vulnerability in a comprehensive manner. Instead, we’ll give a short synopsis of security problems as they apply to Django.
