What problem does it solve?
Security is a design discipline that ensures threat modeling, authn/authz planning, secrets management, input validation, and OWASP awareness guide feature design from the outset to prevent vulnerabilities.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Threat modeling: map callers, inputs, data touched, and risks for each feature.
- Boundary validation: enforce strict schemas, canonicalization, and size limits at the API or interface boundary.
- Authorization decisions: require explicit access-control checks for protected actions.
- Secrets handling: promote secrets management and avoid embedding credentials in code or config.
- Logging & observing: log security events with context while scrubing PII and secrets.
- OWASP alignment: apply Top 10 considerations to all new surfaces.
Quick Start
Proactively model security for a new feature by identifying threat surfaces and defining boundary validation and authorization rules before coding.
