# Deployment security checklist
deployment_sql_injection_prevention:
  pre_deployment:
    - [ ] All code changes reviewed for SQL injection vulnerabilities
    - [ ] Automated security tests pass
    - [ ] Database permissions follow least privilege
    - [ ] WAF rules configured for SQL injection
    - [ ] Security headers properly configured
    - [ ] Error messages don't expose system information
    
  post_deployment:

    - [ ] Verify WAF is blocking malicious requests
    - [ ] Check application logs for database errors
    - [ ] Review security metrics dashboard

  ongoing_monitoring:
    - [ ] Weekly review of security alerts
    - [ ] Monthly analysis of blocked requests

This checklist should be treated as a living document, updated regularly as new threats emerge and technologies evolve. Make it easily accessible to all developers, integrate it into your development workflow, and ensure compliance through automated tools and regular audits. Remember, security is not a one-time activity but an ongoing commitment that requires vigilance and continuous improvement.
