WebAuthn & Passkeys for APIs
Why this module. Phishing-resistant auth is the only auth that holds up against modern proxy-phishing attacks (EvilGinx and similar). WebAuthn / Passkeys are the standard. Apple, Google, Microsoft all default-support; Indian banks are following. Why TOTP isn’t enough anymore EvilGinx-style proxy phishing intercepts the TOTP at login time. User enters TOTP on phishing page → […]
Dependency Management & Renovate
Why this module. 80% of application code is third-party dependencies. Each is a CVE waiting to happen. Manual updates don’t scale; automated bots are non-negotiable in 2026. The two leading bots Dependabot (GitHub) — free, easy, default for GitHub repos. Limited customization. Renovate — open source, very flexible, multi-platform (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket). Industry favourite for […]
Threat Modelling for Engineers (STRIDE/LINDDUN)
Why this module. Threat modelling has a reputation as a heavyweight, consultant-driven exercise. It doesn’t have to be. Done right, it’s a 90-minute workshop that produces a list of design-time security improvements worth more than 100 hours of post-deployment patching. STRIDE in 60 seconds Microsoft’s mnemonic for categories of threats: Spoofing — impersonating someone Tampering […]
Security Champions Programme
Why this module. A security team can’t be in every code review, every architecture meeting, every incident discussion. Security Champions are embedded engineers who carry the security mindset into their teams — multiplying the security team’s reach by 10-50x. Who is a Champion An engineer (not security professional) who: Volunteers (or is selected with consent) […]
Vulnerability Triage at Scale
Why this module. A typical enterprise scan returns 50,000+ CVEs across servers, containers, dependencies. Trying to “fix all critical/high” is mathematically impossible at that scale. Modern triage uses EPSS, KEV, reachability, and asset criticality to focus the 200 fixes that matter. The signals beyond CVSS CVSS — severity in theory. The original signal; loud and […]
Shift-Right Security — Runtime Defence
Why this module. “Shift-left” — find security issues earlier — became dogma. But shift-left has limits: bugs ship anyway, dependencies have CVEs you can’t anticipate, attackers find new exploits. Modern teams add “shift-right” — runtime detection and response — without abandoning shift-left. Where shift-left fails Zero-day exploits — by definition unknowable at build time Configuration […]
DevSecOps Metrics & Maturity
Why this module. Engineering teams measure DORA. Security teams measure CVE backlog. DevSecOps requires a unified metric set — measuring how secure software is delivered, not just secure or how fast. This module is the metrics blueprint. DORA — the engineering baseline Deployment Frequency — how often code reaches production Lead Time for Changes — […]
Container & Image Scanning
Why this module. Every container starts from a base image with hundreds of packages, most of which the application doesn’t use, all of which could have CVEs. Scanning is mandatory; scanning well is the differentiator. Where to scan Build time — fail PRs that introduce new critical CVEs. Trivy / Grype in CI. Registry — […]
DNS-Based Detection Strategy
Why this module exists. Almost every internet attack starts with a DNS query — beaconing to C2, exfiltration via DNS tunneling, phishing-link resolution, malware updating itself. DNS logs are the highest-signal-per-byte log source in your environment, and most SOCs underuse them. What DNS logs reveal Beaconing — same source contacting same destination at fixed intervals […]
SOC Metrics & MTTR Reduction
Why this module exists. “Is our SOC effective?” CISOs need a measurable answer. Common metrics — alert volume, ticket count — measure activity, not effectiveness. The metrics that matter are MTTD (mean time to detect), MTTR (mean time to respond), false-positive rate, and ATT&CK technique coverage. Each has a target; each has specific operational levers. […]
