- Deno is secure by default — use explicit permission flags (`--allow-read`, `--allow-net`, `--allow-env`).
- Never use `--allow-all` in production — grant only the minimum required permissions.
- Use granular permissions: `--allow-read=./data` not `--allow-read` — specify exact paths, hosts, and env vars needed.
- Use `--allow-read=/specific/path` and `--allow-net=api.example.com` for granular permissions.
- Use `deno.json` permissions configuration for consistent development permissions.
