How to manage the security of an an online game?
Apologies if this question comes across as incredibly generic.
I am an experienced game developer currently working with Phaser and Socket.io to build my first online multiplayer game.
I intend to have my game hosted on a server somewhere (so people can alctually play it multiplayer), but I'm concious about security and don't really know where to start.
Does anyone have any tips / links to useful resources about security for online games?
Thanks!

Your question is a bit too broad you'll follow pretty much the same practices that you follow in any other type of multiplayer games. If you haven't created any multiplayer game ever, the most generic rule of thumb is don't trust the client, instead of deriving values just accept inputs and treat your client apps as lightweight terminals, all actual updates (like death damage etc) come from the server.
