Understand how modern apps break.

Before you secure your own applications, learn how APIs, AI, agents, and authorization work and fail, in general. This is domain knowledge, taught in the open, not a pitch and not about your environment.

Start wherever you are. You can learn the threat model first, or map your own apps first, then fill in the concepts. There is no required order.

The turn

Now that you know how it should work, turn the lens onto your apps.

Knowing the threat model in the abstract is one thing. Seeing it in your own environment is the next step, and it's free and private.
