Snapshot
Core controls and how they’re proven
These sections summarize the defensive design choices behind SecurePath. Each block is written to be expandable as more labs and artifacts are published.

Trust Boundaries
SnapshotWhere trust changes and controls must be enforced.
- User/device → application entry (identity + session controls)
- UI → API boundary (authz, validation, rate limits)
- API → data boundary (least privilege, encryption, auditing)
- Admin / privileged access (MFA, conditional access, approvals)
- Third-party integrations (tokens, webhooks, scoped permissions)
- CI/CD → runtime boundary (secrets, build artifacts, deployment permissions)

Top Risks
SnapshotThe most common failure modes I design against.
- Over-permissioned IAM roles
- Broken authorization / IDOR
- Token leakage
- Misconfigurations
- Insufficient logging for IR
- Unsafe defaults (open access, weak headers, permissive CORS)

Core Controls
SnapshotControls I prioritize for real-world coverage (not checkbox security).
- Identity-first: MFA + least privilege + scoped roles
- Segmentation + firewall rules (trust boundary enforcement)
- Secure API patterns: validation, authz checks, consistent errors
- Centralized logging + alerting (high-signal events)
- Patch & vulnerability workflow: scan → fix → verify
Threats → Controls → VerificationEvidence-first
Verification & Evidence
SnapshotProof that controls were implemented and verified.
- Lab reports: what/why/result with screenshots
- Config evidence: firewall rules, hardening changes, logging settings
- Scan results and remediation notes (before/after)
- Writeups mapped to frameworks (CIS Controls / MITRE ATT&CK where relevant)
- Architecture notes: scope, assumptions, non-goals, risks
