# cyber attack counter-measures — Software Engineer

As a Software Engineer, 'cyber attack counter-measures' isn’t about *being* a security specialist, but building secure systems from the ground up. Daily work means proactively thinking about how attackers might exploit your code – input validation to prevent injection attacks (SQLi, XSS), secure authentication/authorization flows using established libraries (OAuth, OpenID Connect), and careful handling of sensitive data (encryption at rest & in transit). You'll be reviewing security checklists during design and code review, potentially running static analysis tools like SonarQube or linters with security rules to catch vulnerabilities early. It’s about shifting left – addressing security concerns *during* development, not as an afterthought.
