Identifying gaps & hardening your entry points. ![TigZig Command](/images/blog/tigzigCommand.png) Just AI security audit is not enough.. it misses things. So had two Claude's go against each other....one hitting my app the other one fixing it. 130 tests across 3 phases. This is the app that monitors all my databases, servers, deployments. Basically the keys to the kingdom, sitting on the public internet deployed at logs.tigzig.com. I also have client tools deployed on open internet (all with OAuth). For admin-type apps sitting on the public internet (vs a VPN), OAuth (Google etc) alone isn't enough. So now this app has multiple independent gates.. Cloudflare Turnstile for invisible bot detection, a password gate before you even see the login page, Google OAuth with email whitelist, Google Authenticator MFA, JWT verification on every API call. DDoS with rotating proxies - my server might remain unavailable for a little while till I turn on the 'under attack' mode in Cloudflare, But my gates won't be breached (hopefully) More gate security possible? yupp.. but for a tool builder for small businesses, I think this is good enough. Updated the security checklist to 78 items with all the new patterns.
