IriusRisk: Bringing Security Architecture Reviews into the AI Era
What if we could identify an application’s security weaknesses before writing a single line of code?
That’s exactly where IriusRisk becomes interesting.
Traditional security testing often discovers vulnerabilities after development. But architectural flaws can be much harder and more expensive to fix once an application is already deployed.
IriusRisk takes a different approach through threat modeling and security architecture analysis.
Imagine designing an online banking application with:
- API Gateway
- Authentication Service
- Payment Service
- Customer Database
During architecture review, IriusRisk helps identify potential threats such as:
🔴 Broken Access Control: Can one customer access another customer’s account?
🔴 API Abuse: Can attackers bypass authorization through exposed endpoints?
🔴 Trust Boundary Violations: Is sensitive information crossing an insecure service boundary?
🔴 SQL Injection: Are database interactions properly protected?
