Security Automation Platform

Problem Statement

Manual security audits were quarterly, vulnerability remediation took weeks, and there was no automated way to detect and respond to runtime threats.

Solution

Built a security automation platform integrating Falco for runtime threat detection, Trivy for vulnerability scanning, DefectDojo for findings management, and n8n for automated remediation workflows.

Technology Stack

Challenges

• Reducing false positives in runtime threat detection
• Prioritizing vulnerabilities across hundreds of container images
• Building remediation workflows that don't break production

Lessons Learned

• Runtime security rules need continuous tuning — ship with conservative defaults
• Vulnerability age matters more than CVSS score alone
• Automate the boring remediation, keep humans in the loop for critical decisions
