Does Laravel come with all security measures?


I am trying to build a web CMS application using PHP and SQL. I haven't fully learned Laravel yet and I may need more time to complete my course. My question is, does Laravel come in with built-in extra security or is it the same as coding in our PHP. No one told me this, I have a feeling, I would have to do a lot of manual coding to secure my app using pure PHP.


Solution

  • Using a framework does not secure your code magically. You still have to protect it.

    you can see your web app as a house with many doors. with pure PHP, you will have to build your doors before using them. On the other side, Laravel (or any framework) comes with built-in doors but if you don't use them, your app will not be secured.

    Example of protections simplified with Laravel

    All protections listed above can be done with pure PHP but you will have to write a lot of code.
