Cyberdefend Stack
This blog covers applied cybersecurity for federal practitioners — the kind of content that lives between vendor datasheets and academic research.
Topics include:
- WAF and application security — policy tuning, behavioral detection, evasion techniques
- API security — discovery, shadow APIs, schema enforcement, BOLA/BFLA
- Zero Trust architecture in federal environments
- MITRE ATT&CK and D3FEND mapping for real controls
- FISMA/NIST 800-53 practical application, not just checkbox compliance
- Data security — DSF, database activity monitoring, encryption at scale
This site runs behind Imperva WAF Gateway — not as a marketing statement, but because the architecture is the point. If you want to see what real WAF telemetry looks like protecting a production workload, the logs are as interesting as the posts.
All code snippets are usable. Copy them, break them, improve them.
