Cyber
security
SDEN treats cybersecurity as an engineering discipline applied to every line of code: from threat modeling at the design stage to continuous monitoring once the product is live.
What this domain covers
Security shows up three ways. Baked into a build: threat modeling, dependency and secret scanning, branch protection, signed releases. As a stand-alone engagement: audits, pentests scoped to OWASP Top 10 and ASVS, remediation roadmaps, incident response. Or driven by compliance: SOC 2, CCPA/CPRA, PIPEDA, ISO 27001 readiness.
An audit leaves three things you can put in front of a board: a risk register ranked by exploitability, a fix backlog cut into shippable tickets, and a hardened CI that stops the same class of bug from coming back.
Pentests ship with reproducible proofs, never a PDF that gestures at a finding.
From challenge to capability
Whatever the domain, the path is the same: scope it, build it with agents, and leave you owning it.
Cybersecurity: the SDEN defaults
Defaults we ship
- Threat modeling at the design stage, not after launch
- OWASP Top 10 + OWASP ASVS Level 2 as the minimum bar for shipped products
- Dependency scanning (SCA), SAST, and secret scanning enforced in CI
- Audit logs retained for a minimum of 12 months
Deliverables
- Risk register with severity, exploitability, and business impact
- Remediation backlog scoped into shippable issues
- Hardened CI configuration (SCA, SAST, secret scanning) committed to your repo
- Re-test report after fixes land

Cornerstone writing from the SDEN team: what AI changes, what it doesn't, and how a senior team ships the difference.
Cybersecurity as code: how AI is changing both attackers and defenders
AI accelerates phishing, credential stuffing, and recon, and it accelerates detection, hardening, and triage. The discipline did not get easier; it got faster on both sides.
RAG for business: building knowledge assistants that actually work
Retrieval-augmented generation grounds AI answers in your data. What RAG is, when it beats fine-tuning or a plain prompt, and what separates a knowledge assistant you can trust from a demo.
AI agents for business: where they work, and where a workflow wins
Agents are powerful and easy to get wrong. When a task genuinely needs an agent, when a plain workflow is the better answer, and how to keep an agent safe and affordable in production.
