A developer's guide to webhook security

Webhooks are a powerful tool for staying informed of changes in other systems, but their security is not always guaranteed. To ensure the security of webhooks, developers must take steps such as using HTTPS to protect against eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks, leveraging webhook providers' security features, restricting which IPs can send webhook requests, storing secrets securely, calling back the service to verify changes in data, and using tools like ngrok for built-in webhook verification. By following these best practices, developers can build a solid foundation for secure webhooks that facilitate seamless integration between systems.
