  2. Set a strong SECRET_KEY - Never use the default
  3. Keep dependencies updated - Run pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt regularly
  4. Use environment variables for sensitive configuration
  5. Enable rate limiting to prevent brute force attacks
  6. Regular backups of your database
  7. Monitor logs for suspicious activity
  8. Use strong passwords and enable 2FA for admin accounts
  9. Keep Python and system packages updated
  10. Use Redis for session storage and caching in production
