Introduction In the past two decades of engineering and architectural practice, I have witnessed a fundamental shift in how we deliver software. Years ago, security was an isolated gatekeeper at the end of the development lifecycle—a toll booth that software had to pass through before deployment. This model simply does not function in the modern…

Introduction In the modern landscape of software development, the speed of delivery is often prioritized over everything else. We are constantly shipping features, pushing updates, and scaling infrastructure to meet user demand. However, this velocity often comes at a steep price: security. When security testing is reserved for the final stage of development, we treat…
