• Authorization: Define role-based access control (RBAC) and resource ownership checks.
• Input Validation: Utilize Pydantic for strong request data validation and sanitization.
• Security Headers: Configure essential HTTP security headers to protect against attacks like clickjacking and XSS.
• Rate Limiting: Protect your API endpoints from abuse with rate limiting.
• SQL Injection Prevention: Leverage SQLAlchemy ORM to prevent SQL injection vulnerabilities.
• Secure File Uploads: Implement validation for file types and sizes.
• Logging: Set up structured logging for security events.

Quick Start

Implement secure FastAPI authentication and authorization by following the provided code examples for JWT, RBAC, and input validation.
