What are the security best practices for Vercel?

Configure comprehensive security headers including CSP, Permissions-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy through middleware or next.config.js. Enable Deployment Protection on all preview deployments and restrict access to team members only. Keep all secrets in server-side environment variables without the NEXT_PUBLIC_ prefix and access them only through API routes. Implement rate limiting and input validation on all serverless functions, and use Vercel Firewall rules to block malicious traffic patterns. UNPWNED monitors your Vercel deployment continuously and alerts you when security configurations drift from best practices.
