Every domain is built with zero fluff—featuring architectural diagrams, side-by-side vulnerable vs secure code, and runnable hands-on labs.
Foundational Security
Security design patterns, Saltzer-Schroeder principles, AuthN/AuthZ protocols, modern Cryptography, and Zero Trust Architecture.
Web & API Security
OWASP Top 10 deep dives, REST, GraphQL, gRPC security, CORS/SOP mechanics, Frontend security, and Mobile app defenses.
Cloud & DevSecOps
Container & Kubernetes security, Infrastructure as Code checks, Secrets management, and hardened CI/CD pipeline supply chains.
AI & ML Security
Flagship coverage of LLM Prompt Injection, RAG vector poisoning, Agentic AI security, MCP tool safety, and AI Red Teaming.
Offensive Security
CTF competition tactics, Web & Crypto exploits, Network & Firewall bypasses, and Technical Social Engineering defenses.
Defensive Security & DFIR
Incident Response playbooks, Digital Forensics across Windows/Linux/RAM, Malware Analysis, and SOC Threat Hunting.
Specialized Technologies
Browser Extension Manifest V3 security, IoT & Embedded device firmware auditing, and Hardware security mechanisms.
Compliance & Privacy
Technical implementation guidelines for GDPR, PCI-DSS v4.0, SOC 2 Type II engineering controls, and ISO 27001.
Hands-On Labs & PoCs
Self-contained, runnable multi-language vulnerability labs, automated exploit scripts, and complete secure code refactors.
Engineered for Practical Security Impact
AppSec Atlas skips generic high-level summaries to give software engineers and security architects actionable code and threat models.
Multi-Language Production Code
Side-by-side vulnerable ❌ vs secure ✅ code implementations across Python, Node.js, Go, and Java Spring Boot.
Standards & Framework Aligned
Mapped directly to OWASP Top 10 (Web/API/LLM), NIST AI 100-2, NIST SP 800-207 Zero Trust, and MITRE ATLAS™.
Self-Contained Runnable Labs
Includes target microservices, automated exploit PoC harnesses, hardened refactors, and automated verification tests.
