Security Best Practices

When using Accelerapp:

For Code Generation

  • Review generated code before deployment to production
  • Run security analysis on generated code using the SecurityAnalysisAgent
  • Keep dependencies up to date
  • Use secure coding practices in your configurations

For API Usage

  • Store API keys securely (use environment variables, not hardcode)
  • Implement proper rate limiting for your deployments
  • Use HTTPS in production environments
  • Rotate API keys regularly

For Air-Gapped Deployments

  • Enable encryption for all data storage
  • Configure access control with least privilege principle
  • Enable audit logging for compliance tracking
  • Regularly review audit logs for suspicious activity
  • Keep security patches up to date

For Generated Firmware

  • Validate hardware configurations before flashing
  • Use secure boot when available on target platforms
  • Implement secure communication protocols
  • Follow platform-specific security guidelines
