API authentication and authorization vulnerabilities expose systems to unauthorized access. This Skill identifies gaps in credential handling, token validation, and permission enforcement across your endpoints, then provides prioritized remediation steps aligned with OWASP Top 10 standards to enforce least privilege and strong authentication controls.

OWASP-aligned controls for microservices include strong authentication, input validation, secure error handling, and continuous monitoring. This Skill maps threat vectors to specific security requirements for API endpoints and gateways, delivering measurable controls and secure-by-default configurations tailored to your architecture.

Threat modeling identifies attack paths and data exposure risks in API designs. This Skill performs risk assessment across authentication, authorization, and data handling layers, helping you prioritize vulnerabilities and build hardening plans with concrete security controls for your endpoints and microservices.

Yes. This Skill reviews API authentication and authorization design, validates data handling practices, and checks alignment with OWASP Top 10 principles. It works with API implementations, microservices, and gateway proxies at any stage—greenfield or legacy—to produce actionable hardening recommendations.

Secure-by-default embeds security controls into architecture and implementation from the start, reducing attack surface. This Skill specifies secure-by-default requirements for authentication, input validation, logging, and monitoring alongside remediation steps for existing systems, helping teams shift left on security.

This Skill translates OWASP principles into practical steps and measurable controls, making it accessible to teams without dedicated security roles. It provides threat modeling frameworks, requirement specifications for least privilege and strong authentication, and prioritized remediation guidance suited to your API architecture.
