Blue Team Security Actual Security work for Actual Developers
summary
Claim: validate inputs eliminates roughly 98% of common attacks; start by threat-modeling the architecture with STRIDE and map each red line to mitigations (tampering -> TLS). Use CVSS for risk scoring, ASVS/MASVS test lists and CVE/CVSS databases to prioritize—expect 100+ to 250+ findings. Build small: add the first validation rule, enforce or sandbox inputs, then iterate. Remember the evacuation model: practice drills and disaster recovery save lives and systems (2700 saved example).
