Application Security
Applications are the new perimeter. Angry Beaver AppSec treats every service, API, and client as a potential entry โ and builds controls through the full lifecycle.
Threat modeling
Map trust boundaries before code ships.
Secure review
SAST, dependency hygiene, manual review.
Testing
DAST, API abuse cases, authz checks.
Runtime
WAF, RASP signals, least-privilege identities.
Industry practice spans OWASP ASVS, SAMM, and secure-by-design principles. We focus on high-impact controls: authentication strength, authorization correctness, input handling, secrets management, and supply-chain integrity.
How engagements typically run
Most application security work follows a repeatable arc: understand the system, find the weak beams, reinforce them, then verify the dam still holds under pressure.
Scope & model
Assets, trust boundaries, data flows, and abuse cases written down before tools run.
Find & prioritize
Vulns ranked by exploitability and business blast radius โ not raw scanner volume.
Fix & harden
Secure patterns, dependency policy, secrets handling, and authz tests in CI.
Prove it
Retest critical paths; leave regression checks so the next release does not reopen the gap.
Common focus areas include broken access control, injection classes, SSRF, insecure deserialization, weak session handling, and API authorization flaws โ the same categories that dominate real incident reports year after year.
