Security Considerations

When integrating NocoBase with external systems, consider the following security best practices:

1. Use HTTPS: Always use encrypted connections for data transmission
2. Secure API Keys: Store API keys securely and rotate them regularly
3. Principle of Least Privilege: Grant only necessary permissions for integrations
4. Audit Logging: Monitor and log integration activities
5. Data Validation: Validate all data from external sources
