Here are a few steps that might help.

1. Use Eloquent ORM

   // Safe Eloquent usage $user = User::where('email', $email)->first();

2. Leverage Query Builder

   // Safe Query Builder example $users = DB::table('users')->where('status', 'active')->get();

3. Avoid Raw SQL Queries

   // Safe raw query with parameter binding $results = DB::select('SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = :email', ['email' => $email]);

4. Use Validation and Sanitization

   $request->validate([ 'email' => 'required|email', 'name' => 'required|string|max:255', ]);

5. Escape Data in Blade Templates

   {{ $user->name }}

   {!! $user->name !!}

6. Use Prepared Statements in Edge Cases

   DB::statement('INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES (?, ?)', [$name, $email]);

7. Keep Laravel Updated

8. Consider Using Additional Security Tools
