• Fix Development: Depends on severity (1-30 days)
• Public Disclosure: After fix is released and users have time to update

1. Dependency Management

   • Regularly update dependencies usingcargo update
   • Runcargo audit before releases
   • Usecargo deny to check licenses and security advisories

2. Code Security

   • Follow Rust security guidelines
   • Use secure coding practices
   • Validate all user inputs
   • Implement proper authentication and authorization

3. Environment Security

   • Use environment variables for sensitive configuration
   • Never commit secrets to version control
