# Apollo Security Basics

## Overview
Implement security best practices for Apollo.io API integrations including key management, data protection, and access controls.

## Prerequisites
- Valid Apollo.io API credentials
- Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+
- Completed `apollo-install-auth` setup

## Instructions
Follow these high-level steps to implement apollo-security-basics:

1. Review the prerequisites and ensure your environment is configured
2. Follow the detailed implementation guide for step-by-step code examples
3. Validate your implementation against the output checklist below

For full implementation details, load: `Read(plugins/saas-packs/apollo-pack/skills/apollo-security-basics/references/implementation-guide.md)`

## Output
- Secure API key management
- PII redaction for logging
- Data retention controls
- Role-based access patterns
- Security audit checklist

## Error Handling
| Issue | Mitigation |
|-------|------------|
| Key exposure | Immediate rotation |
| PII in logs | Implement redaction |
| Unauthorized access | Audit and revoke |
| Data breach | Follow incident response |
