SECURITY

Category: 03. Automation & Workflow
Section: Phase 3: Execution & Quality


12. SECURITY.md

Purpose: To secure webhooks, API keys, and user data flowing through the automation.

Act as a security engineer.
Using the Workflow Schema and API Integration document below, create a Security document for an automation hackathon project.

WORKFLOW_SCHEMA: [PASTE WORKFLOW_SCHEMA]
API_INTEGRATION: [PASTE API_INTEGRATION]

Provide:
1. Webhook security (Secret tokens, IP whitelisting)
2. API key protection (Vault storage, Environment variables)
3. Authentication for external services (OAuth best practices)
4. Input sanitization (Preventing injection through forms)
5. Data privacy (What data flows through the automation?)
6. Access control (Who can edit the workflow?)
7. Logging and monitoring for suspicious activity
8. A pre-submission security checklist

Keep the security measures practical and easy to implement within a hackathon timeframe.
