The EEF‘s Security WG has released the first public draft of the Secure Coding and Deployment Hardening Guidelines for BEAM languages.

“Secure coding practices can help reduce vulnerabilities in software projects by steering programmers away from dangerous functions or patterns, and towards more robust alternatives. Deployment hardening is the process of reducing the attack surface of a production environment, e.g. by removing unused components and revising unsafe configurations.”

We welcome feedback and suggestions through the group’s GitHub repo.
