Build a product with defensive mechanism.

Over 5 crore Bangladeshi citizens' personal data 'exposed' online which is actually a big concern for country. Citizens' personal information, including their full names, phone numbers, email addresses and National Identification (NID) numbers, has been exposed from a Bangladesh government website according to local news paper
The Business Standard.

It's sad to see that our personal data has been exposed online. That's why we should not only focus on development rather focus on everything that is a part of a software. We should follow best practices during software development, Code review, proper testing of software, network level security, protection from any malware attack, vulnerability check, Database protection, user roles, user activity track, API Security and so on. There are some companies prove vulnerability check and security related services in this regard.

We need to understand that the cost of a data breach is fatal than not giving extra time to perform these actions during software development. A great product requires periodically maintaining and upgrading the system after a software release. Let's build a product with a defensive mechanism.
