Security testing can detect alternate-channel race conditions before deployment.
Network segmentation and hardening reduce the exposure of alternate channels to unauthorized actors.
Segregating networks limits the reach of alternate communication paths to unintended parties.
Secure development practices can identify and eliminate race conditions involving alternate channels.
Application security requirements can specify thread-safety and locking rules, but do not prescribe implementation details.
Secure architecture principles reduce the likelihood of exposing alternate channels to unintended actors.
