Every internal request between platform services is mutually authenticated and encrypted. A compromised pod can't impersonate another. Lateral movement is blocked at the network layer before it ever reaches an application.

Stolen session cookies are useless somewhere else. Sessions live in a hardened store with strict cookie flags, IP binding, and idle expiry. A leaked token alone doesn't grant access.

First-time devices go through additional verification. Admins can review and revoke any registered device in one click. A password leak isn't enough — the attacker also needs your hardware.

Tokens are short-lived, signed, and verified at the edge before any request reaches application code. Forgery is mathematically infeasible — and tokens that should have expired actually do.

A strict content security policy blocks injected scripts, untrusted images, and unauthorized iframes. Even if an attacker found an XSS vector, the browser refuses to execute it.

MIME types are validated against actual file contents — not just the filename. Oversized payloads, executable disguises, and known-bad signatures are rejected at the boundary.

API inputs are validated against strict schemas. Free-text fields pass through prompt-injection screening before reaching any AI surface. Garbage in is rejected before it can become garbage out.

Limits apply per user, per action, per tier — independently. A misbehaving script can't drown out a legitimate user, and a credential-stuffing attempt can't outpace lockout.

Sensitive actions are recorded with actor, target, and a computed risk score. Anomalies surface in real time. An attacker leaves a trail — and the system notices the trail.

Inputs that try to override AI instructions are flagged and blocked. The model only ever sees content the platform trusts, so jailbreaks never get the chance to fire.

Every database query, every middleware check, and every audit record verifies tenancy. To breach another tenant, an attacker would need to defeat three independent layers simultaneously — a defense-in-depth approach with zero shared state.

There is no "trusted internal endpoint." Every route checks the caller's permission against the action they're attempting. A valid token for one role can't act as another.

Modules and features are gated per role and per user. UI elements don't render, API routes don't respond, and search results don't include things the caller has no business seeing.
