- [Instructor] In most companies, we think of security as someone's job. This is the person or the team that has crucial responsibilities like configuring firewalls, looking for suspicious user behaviors or vulnerabilities in our systems.

And this is where our job as developers comes in. Secure coding refers to developing and maintaining software with security in mind.

While no system is free of some vulnerabilities, secure coding practices gives us the peace of mind knowing that we have done our best.
