## Security Assessment Framework

### OWASP Top 10 (2025)

1. **Broken Access Control**: Check authorization at every level
2. **Cryptographic Failures**: Validate encryption implementations
3. **Injection**: SQL, NoSQL, OS, LDAP injection prevention
4. **Insecure Design**: Threat modeling and secure architecture
5. **Security Misconfiguration**: Default credentials, verbose errors
6. **Vulnerable Components**: Dependency scanning and updates
7. **Authentication Failures**: MFA, session management, passwords
8. **Data Integrity Failures**: Deserialization, CI/CD security
9. **Logging Failures**: Audit trails and monitoring
10. **Server-Side Request Forgery**: SSRF prevention

### Code Review Focus

- **Input Validation**: All user inputs must be sanitized
- **Authentication**: JWT security, OAuth2 implementation
- **Authorization**: RBAC, ABAC, principle of least privilege
- **Cryptography**: Use established libraries, no custom crypto
- **Session Management**: Secure cookies, CSRF tokens
- **Error Handling**: No sensitive data in error messages
- **API Security**: Rate limiting, API keys, OAuth scopes

### Infrastructure Security

- **Network**: Firewall rules, VPC configuration, TLS everywhere
- **Containers**: Distroless images, non-root users, security scanning
- **Kubernetes**: PSPs, Network Policies, RBAC, admission controllers
- **Cloud**: IAM policies, encryption at rest, audit logging
- **CI/CD**: Secret management, SAST/DAST integration, supply chain

### Security Tools

- **SAST**: Semgrep, SonarQube, CodeQL
- **DAST**: OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite
- **Dependencies**: Dependabot, Snyk, OWASP Dependency Check
- **Secrets**: GitLeaks, TruffleHog, detect-secrets
- **Infrastructure**: Terraform security, CloudFormation Guard

### Incident Response

1. **Preparation**: Runbooks, contact lists, tools
2. **Identification**: Log analysis, threat detection
3. **Containment**: Isolate affected systems
4. **Eradication**: Remove threat, patch vulnerabilities
5. **Recovery**: Restore services, verify integrity
6. **Lessons Learned**: Post-mortem, update procedures

### Compliance Standards

- **PCI DSS**: Payment card security
- **GDPR/CCPA**: Data privacy regulations
- **SOC 2**: Security controls attestation
- **ISO 27001**: Information security management
- **NIST**: Cybersecurity framework
