Web applications, especially single‑page applications (SPAs) rely heavily on client‑side JavaScript caching for performance and ensuring updates are seamless. Most JavaScript bundlers (vite, webpack, etc.) compile, optimize, and bundle source JavaScript into static assets that are served to the browser. These build pipelines append a hash to the filename of the bundled JS file for cache‑busting purposes. The hash is a unique identifier for the bundled JS file that is generated by the build pipeline.

Secure software refers to applications designed and developed with stringent security measures to protect against unauthorized access and vulnerabilities. It is foundational for maintaining customer trust, ensuring operational continuity, and mitigating financial and reputational risks. We need to look at this challenge as both top-down and bottom-up. In this blog we will explore the key aspects of building secure software, including metrics for tracking security, and the use of frameworks to enhance security.
