10.6 Environment Security
Environment configuration should never expose sensitive information or allow unauthorized access to development tools in production. We use environment variables for sensitive configuration and ensure that development tools and debug information are disabled in production environments.
Both WordPress and Laravel projects should use environment-specific configuration that prevents debug information from being displayed in production while allowing detailed error reporting during development.

Laravel’s environment configuration handles most security concerns automatically, but we ensure proper configuration for different environments and never commit sensitive environment files to version control.
Regular security updates and dependency management help prevent vulnerabilities from affecting our projects. We monitor security advisories for WordPress core, plugins, and Composer packages, applying updates promptly while testing for compatibility issues.
