How Endor Labs solves the noise problem in #AppSec

🔐 Your Code Works. But Is It Secure? In a world where cyber threats evolve faster than most apps can update, securing our application is no longer optional — it's mission-critical. 🛡️ Here are 5 essential (and practical) cybersecurity measures I actively implemented to safeguard my application and why you should too: 🚨 **1. Zero Trust Architecture** Never trust, always verify — even inside your own network. Every request must be authenticated and authorized. 🧠 **2. Threat Modeling from Day 1** We don't wait for vulnerabilities to show up we predict them. Security is now part of our product design process. 🔐 **3. Encrypt Everything** Data in transit? Encrypted. Data at rest? Encrypted. Secrets? Vaulted and rotated regularly. Bonus: Don’t hard-code API keys. Ever. 👁️ **4. Monitor Like a Hawk** We use real-time monitoring & anomaly detection to catch suspicious activity before it escalates. Logs tell stories — We read them daily. 📱 **5. Secure by Design** From secure authentication flows (2FA, OAuth) to input validation and rate-limiting, we embed security from the first line of code. #CyberSecurity #AppSecurity #InfoSec #DevSecOps #SecureCoding #ZeroTrust #LinkedInTech #TechLeadership #CyberAware

🚨 Ship Fast, Break Security? Not at Level3ID. Today’s disclosure about Cursor AI shipping with Workspace Trust disabled is a perfect example of what happens when convenience beats security. A single malicious repo could execute code silently the moment you open it. That’s not innovation — that’s negligence. https://lnkd.in/g_rNai3u At Level3ID, we took the opposite path. Coming from decades in access control, intrusion, and fire systems, we know exactly where the “intruder” will try to get in. The internet already tells you how to secure your sites — you just need to listen. 🔒 Our code was built over 6 months, not 6 days. 🔒 Every line was scrutinized at least 10 times for compliance. 🔒 Independent LLM reviews have flagged Level3ID’s code as more secure than 85% of the internet. 🔒 We leverage dynamic CORS and domain-specific identifiers to ensure uncompromising security at the platform layer. Security is not an afterthought here. It’s the foundation. That’s why Level3ID is ready for real-world threats — while others are still patching after the fact. https://www.level3id.com #CyberSecurity #AIsecurity #SupplyChainSecurity #Level3ID #AccessControl #SecureCoding #NoShortcuts Proofs in the puddin' 👇

Patching was supposed to make us safer. But somewhere along the way, it became a grind. Every alert is marked urgent. Every upgrade feels critical. And teams treat them all the same. The result? Developers pulled off features to fight fires. Security stuck in endless triage. Leaders frustrated, because risk barely moves despite all the effort. Here’s the truth most don’t say out loud: not every patch makes you safer. Some upgrades truly reduce risk. Most just drain cycles. That’s why impact-based upgrade analysis changes the game. It shows you which patches actually matter, which ones can wait, and how to upgrade without breaking delivery. Instead of “patched = done,” you finally get to “patched = protected.” That’s the shift we’re building at Endor Labs. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gHwKyqq6 #AppSec #RiskReduction #CyberSecurity #EndorLabs

Privilege Escalation: Hacker moves from user to admin/root for higher control. Persistence: Hacker plants backdoors, startup tasks, new accounts to stay inside. Lateral Movement: Hacker uses RDP, SMB, stolen creds, pass-the-hash to spread across the network. Escalation = more power Persistence = stay inside Lateral = spread out #CyberSecurity #PrivilegeEscalation #Persistence #LateralMovement #RedTeam #BlueTeam #EthicalHacking #PenTesting #ThreatHunting #Infosec #MITREATTACK #NetworkSecurity #SystemSecurity #CyberThreats #CyberDefense #IncidentResponse #MalwareAnalysis #CyberAttack #CyberAwareness #HackingTechniques

Ever get the feeling the whole world is thinking about the same thing? 🌍💭 No, it’s not AI. Not the economy. Not even coffee. It’s… Vulnerability Assessment. 😅 Because when hackers are scanning the internet thousands of times per second, nobody’s really sleeping easy. 🚀 The good news: WatchGate’s Vulnerability Assessment feature launches in just 2 weeks — built to help small and medium-sized businesses find and fix risks before attackers do. Stay tuned. The world will finally rest easier soon. #Cybersecurity #SmallBusiness #WatchGate #VulnerabilityAssessment

Is your system's configuration file its biggest vulnerability? 🤔 A Rules File Backdoor is a stealthy attack where a malicious command is hidden inside a trusted config file (Makefile, .htaccess, etc.). When your own legitimate software runs, it unknowingly executes the attacker's code. It's dangerous because it's not a virus—it's your own applications being turned against you. The key to defense is vigilance: File Integrity Monitoring, regular code reviews, and the Principle of Least Privilege. Have you seen similar "hidden-in-plain-sight" logic flaws emerging with Gen AI systems or their configuration files?

With the surge in supply chain attacks, relying heavily on third-party dependencies is riskier than ever. In the GenAI era, organizations with capable developers can strengthen security by building essential components in-house—reducing the attack surface, improving performance, and ensuring code oversight. While this demands more effort, the resulting software is leaner, faster, and less vulnerable to external threats. A smart mix of selective dependencies and custom code is key for robust, future-ready security. #SupplyChainSecurity #GenAI #Cybersecurity

Is cybersecurity inextricably linked to technical debt? Every instance of technical debt represents a potential vulnerability. A fragile system landscape expands the attack surface, creating entry points for malicious actors. Non-native integrations amplify this risk, increasing vulnerability. Technical debt often manifests in operational systems through shortcuts, like maintaining legacy tools, bolting on apps for compliance, or using spreadsheets for processes. While these may offer temporary solutions, they accumulate into a fragile and vulnerable environment. What are some of the ways you've managed technical debt in order to improve system security? #cybersecurity #technicaldebt #vulnerability #systemsecurity #riskmanagement

Shift left or shift right? At the ET CISO Annual Conclave I noticed a simple fact, there is great innovation on both fronts. Tools that find vulnerabilities early and tools that protect apps once they are live. But CISOs are not asking for more silo solutions. They want a single, continuous loop that ties Dev, Sec and Ops together so security actually travels with the app into production. Enterprises that stitch those pieces together will move faster and safer. Not just avoid breaches, but enable real digital transformation. #AppSec #CyberSecurity #ShiftRight #ShiftLeft #ZeroTrust #CISO
