   • Configure MCP_BEARER_TOKEN for additional server security
   • Regularly rotate credentials

3. Environment Variables

   • Never commit .env files to version control
   • Use secure secret management in production
   • Regularly audit environment configurations

1. API Access

   • Enable API access only when needed
   • Use least-privilege access principles
   • Monitor API access logs regularly

2. Network Isolation

   • Isolate SonicWall management interfaces
   • Use dedicated management networks
   • Implement proper network segmentation

1. Docker Security

   • Use official base images only
   • Keep Docker and images updated
   • Run containers with minimal privileges
   • Scan images for vulnerabilities

2. Production Deployment

   • Use container orchestration security features
   • Implement resource limits
   • Monitor container activity

1. Development Status: This project is in active development and community testing phase
2. Logging: Error logs may contain sensitive information - secure log storage is essential
3. Network Traffic: API communications contain firewall data - ensure secure transport
4. Dependencies: Regularly update dependencies to address security vulnerabilities

• Follow secure coding practices
• Never include credentials or secrets in code
• Validate all inputs and sanitize outputs
• Use parameterized queries and safe APIs
• Write security-focused tests

• Keep the server updated to the latest version
• Monitor logs for unusual activity
• Use secure deployment practices
• Regular security assessments
• Follow principle of least privilege

• Day 0: Vulnerability reported
• Day 2: Acknowledgment sent
• Day 5: Initial assessment and severity classification
• Day 30: Progress update and expected timeline
• Day 90: Target resolution (may vary based on severity)
