An application security code review audits code for OWASP Top 10 risks like injection and authz flaws, producing evidence-based findings with CWE mappings, attack vectors, and concrete fix guidance to remediate vulnerabilities before production.

STRIDE threat modeling analyzes a new feature design by producing a data-flow diagram and threat register, identifying risks across its categories, and generating structured mitigations alongside testable security acceptance criteria.

The best way to harden API security headers and CORS configurations is through secure configuration checks that review CSP, cookie settings, and session management practices to prevent common misconfigurations and data leaks.

Yes, the application security assessment handles secrets management and dependency exposure by auditing configuration and code ahead of release to identify hardcoded credentials and prevent costly late fixes in production.

Yes, you can use this security review for production incident response workflows, as it assesses architecture and configuration to produce evidence-based findings with attack vectors and implementable mitigations for active vulnerabilities.

You need threat modeling with a data-flow diagram (DFD) when designing new features, allowing you to map data flows, identify potential threats using structured methodologies, and define testable security acceptance criteria before implementation.
