As a freelance developer, I realized I was doing everything — writing code, deploying servers, handling auth — but completely ignoring security.

It wasn’t until a close call with an API key leak that I went all in.

So I built a practical cybersecurity stack just for solo devs in 2025:

Static code analysis with Semgrep

Secret detection with GitGuardian

Endpoint protection via CrowdStrike Falcon

Server vuln scans using OpenVAS

Python project security with Bandit

SaaS login/auth hardening using Okta CIAM
