CampusCare implements a multi-layered security architecture designed to protect campus infrastructure data through rigorous validation, real-time monitoring, and proactive attack prevention.
Specialized protection against brute force and DDoS. Includes strict limits for Auth (5/15m), API, AI endpoints, and file uploads.
We don't just trust file extensions. We inspect binary headers to verify actual file types (JPEG, PNG, WebP) preventing malicious uploads.
Whitelist-based validation using Express-Validator. Every input is scrutinized for SQL Injection, XSS patterns, and path traversal attempts.
Strict Role-Based Access Control enforcing least-privilege principles across Admins, Facility Managers, Staff, and Students.
Real-time monitoring of sensitive paths (/admin, /.env). Automated tracking of bot user-agents and IP-based anomalies.
Implementation of Helmet, HSTS enforcement, X-Frame-Options, and strict CORS policies to harden the application layer.
