Assets to Protect:

1. Test configurations (may contain sensitive URLs/credentials)
2. Test results and artifacts
3. Enterprise data (users, projects, audit logs)
4. API keys and credentials
5. Cloud storage data

Threat Actors:

1. External attackers (internet-based)
2. Malicious insiders
3. Accidental misconfiguration
4. Supply chain attacks

Attack Vectors:

1. Network attacks (MITM, eavesdropping)
2. Injection attacks (command injection, XSS)
3. Authentication bypass
4. Privilege escalation
5. Data exfiltration
6. Denial of service

Requirements:

# enterprise_config.yaml
security:
  password:
    min_length: 12
    require_uppercase: true
    require_lowercase: true
    require_numbers: true
    require_special: true
    max_age_days: 90
    history_count: 5  # Prevent password reuse

Implementation:

// Passwords hashed with bcrypt (cost factor 10)
hashedPassword, err := bcrypt.GenerateFromPassword([]byte(password), 10)

// Verify password
err = bcrypt.CompareHashAndPassword(hashedPassword, []byte(password))

Best Practices:

• ✅ Use bcrypt for password hashing (already implemented)
• ✅ Use cost factor 10-12
• ✅ Enforce strong password policies
• ✅ Implement account lockout after 5 failed attempts
• ✅ Log authentication attempts
• ❌ Never log passwords
• ❌ Never store passwords in plaintext
• ❌ Never transmit passwords without TLS

Recommendation: Implement TOTP-based MFA for admin users

# enterprise_config.yaml
security:
  mfa:
    enabled: true
    required_for_admins: true
    totp_issuer: "Panoptic"
    backup_codes: 10

Secure Session Configuration:

# enterprise_config.yaml
security:
  sessions:
    timeout_minutes: 60
    absolute_timeout_minutes: 480  # 8 hours max
    secure_cookie: true
    http_only: true
    same_site: "Strict"

Session Security Checklist:

• Set secure cookie flag (HTTPS only)
• Set HttpOnly flag (prevent XSS)
• Set SameSite attribute (prevent CSRF)
• Implement session timeout
• Regenerate session ID after authentication
• Implement logout functionality
• Clear sessions on password change

Role Definitions:

# enterprise_config.yaml
roles:
  admin:
    permissions:
      - user_management
      - project_management
      - system_configuration
      - audit_access
      - compliance_reports

  operator:
    permissions:
      - run_tests
      - view_results
      - manage_own_projects

  viewer:
    permissions:
      - view_results
      - view_reports

RBAC Best Practices:

• ✅ Follow principle of least privilege
• ✅ Use groups for role assignment
• ✅ Regularly audit role assignments
• ✅ Implement separation of duties
• ✅ Log permission changes
• ❌ Don't use overly broad permissions
• ❌ Don't bypass RBAC checks in code

Secure API Key Generation:

// Generate cryptographically secure API key
apiKey := generateSecureAPIKey(32)  // 32 bytes = 256 bits

func generateSecureAPIKey(length int) string {
    b := make([]byte, length)
    if _, err := rand.Read(b); err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    return base64.URLEncoding.EncodeToString(b)
}

API Key Configuration:

# API key with rate limiting
actions:
  - name: "create_api_key"
    type: "api_key_create"
    parameters:
      name: "production-key"
      permissions:
        - "run_tests"
        - "view_results"
      rate_limit:
        requests_per_minute: 100
        requests_per_day: 10000
      expires_at: "2026-12-31T23:59:59Z"

API Key Best Practices:

• ✅ Generate with crypto/rand (not math/rand)
• ✅ Use sufficient entropy (256+ bits)
• ✅ Implement rate limiting
• ✅ Set expiration dates
• ✅ Scope permissions (least privilege)
• ✅ Log API key usage
• ✅ Rotate keys regularly
• ❌ Never commit API keys to version control
• ❌ Never log API keys in plaintext
• ❌ Never reuse revoked keys

File System Encryption:

# Linux - LUKS encryption
cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdb
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb panoptic_data
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/panoptic_data
mount /dev/mapper/panoptic_data /opt/panoptic/data

# Or use encrypted storage classes in Kubernetes
storageClassName: encrypted-ssd

Application-Level Encryption:

# enterprise_config.yaml
security:
  encryption:
    enabled: true
    algorithm: "AES-256-GCM"
    key_rotation_days: 90

storage:
  encrypt_at_rest: true
  encryption_key: "${PANOPTIC_ENCRYPTION_KEY}"  # From environment

Best Practices:

• ✅ Use AES-256 for symmetric encryption
• ✅ Use secure key management (KMS, Vault)
• ✅ Rotate encryption keys regularly
• ✅ Encrypt all sensitive data at rest
• ✅ Use authenticated encryption (GCM mode)
• ❌ Never hardcode encryption keys
• ❌ Don't use weak algorithms (DES, RC4)

TLS Configuration:

# Kubernetes TLS
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: panoptic-tls
  namespace: panoptic
type: kubernetes.io/tls
data:
  tls.crt: <base64-encoded-cert>
  tls.key: <base64-encoded-key>

---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: panoptic
  annotations:
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-ssl-cert: arn:aws:acm:...
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-backend-protocol: https
spec:
  type: LoadBalancer
  ports:
  - port: 443
    targetPort: 8443

TLS Best Practices:

• ✅ Use TLS 1.2 or later (TLS 1.3 preferred)
• ✅ Use strong cipher suites
• ✅ Verify certificate chains
• ✅ Use certificate pinning for critical connections
• ✅ Implement HSTS headers
• ✅ Regularly renew certificates (automate with cert-manager)
• ❌ Don't use self-signed certs in production
• ❌ Don't disable certificate validation
• ❌ Don't support SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0

Recommended Cipher Suites:

TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256

Data Classification:

1. Public: Test results, reports (non-sensitive)
2. Internal: Configuration files, logs
3. Confidential: Credentials, API keys
4. Restricted: Enterprise data, audit logs, personal data

Handling Guidelines:

# Mark sensitive data in configuration
settings:
  # SENSITIVE: Database credentials
  database:
    password: "${DB_PASSWORD}"  # From environment, not file

  # SENSITIVE: Cloud credentials
  cloud:
    credentials:
      access_key: "${AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}"
      secret_key: "${AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}"

  # SENSITIVE: Enterprise encryption key
  enterprise:
    encryption_key: "${PANOPTIC_ENCRYPTION_KEY}"

Sensitive Data Checklist:

• Identify all sensitive data
• Classify data by sensitivity
• Encrypt sensitive data at rest
• Encrypt sensitive data in transit
• Implement access controls
• Log access to sensitive data
• Redact sensitive data from logs
• Implement data retention policies
• Securely delete sensitive data
• Regular security audits

Use Secret Management Systems:

AWS Secrets Manager:

# Store secret
aws secretsmanager create-secret \
  --name panoptic/prod/db-password \
  --secret-string "MySecurePassword123!"

# Retrieve in application
export DB_PASSWORD=$(aws secretsmanager get-secret-value \
  --secret-id panoptic/prod/db-password \
  --query SecretString \
  --output text)

HashiCorp Vault:

# Store secret
vault kv put secret/panoptic/prod db_password="MySecurePassword123!"

# Retrieve in application
export DB_PASSWORD=$(vault kv get -field=db_password secret/panoptic/prod)

Kubernetes Secrets:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: panoptic-secrets
  namespace: panoptic
type: Opaque
stringData:
  aws-access-key: "AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE"
  aws-secret-key: "wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY"

---
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: panoptic
        env:
        - name: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
          valueFrom:
            secretKeyRef:
              name: panoptic-secrets
              key: aws-access-key
        - name: AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
          valueFrom:
            secretKeyRef:
              name: panoptic-secrets
              key: aws-secret-key

Never:

• ❌ Commit secrets to version control
• ❌ Store secrets in configuration files
• ❌ Log secrets in application logs
• ❌ Include secrets in error messages
• ❌ Transmit secrets over unencrypted channels
• ❌ Use weak or default passwords
• ❌ Share secrets via email or chat

AWS Shield / CloudFlare:

# AWS Shield Standard (automatic)
# AWS Shield Advanced (for enhanced protection)

resource "aws_shield_protection" "panoptic_alb" {
  name         = "panoptic-alb-protection"
  resource_arn = aws_lb.panoptic.arn
}

Rate Limiting:

# Application-level rate limiting
settings:
  rate_limiting:
    enabled: true
    requests_per_minute: 100
    requests_per_hour: 5000
    burst: 20

All inputs must be validated:

// Example: Validate URL
func validateURL(urlStr string) error {
    if urlStr == "" {
        return errors.New("URL cannot be empty")
    }

    parsedURL, err := url.Parse(urlStr)
    if err != nil {
        return fmt.Errorf("invalid URL: %w", err)
    }

    // Only allow http/https
    if parsedURL.Scheme != "http" && parsedURL.Scheme != "https" {
        return fmt.Errorf("invalid URL scheme: %s", parsedURL.Scheme)
    }

    return nil
}

// Example: Validate file path (prevent path traversal)
func validateFilePath(path string) error {
    if path == "" {
        return errors.New("path cannot be empty")
    }

    // Check for path traversal
    if strings.Contains(path, "..") {
        return errors.New("path traversal detected")
    }

    // Ensure path is within allowed directory
    absPath, err := filepath.Abs(path)
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }

    if !strings.HasPrefix(absPath, allowedDir) {
        return errors.New("path outside allowed directory")
    }

    return nil
}

Input Validation Checklist:

• Validate all user inputs
• Whitelist allowed values
• Reject unexpected input formats
• Limit input length
• Escape special characters
• Validate file paths (prevent traversal)
• Validate URLs (prevent SSRF)
• Validate selectors (prevent injection)

Current Risk Areas:

• Desktop platform: OS commands
• Mobile platform: ADB/Xcode commands

Secure Implementation:

// UNSAFE: Command injection vulnerability
cmd := exec.Command("sh", "-c", "adb shell input text " + userInput)

// SAFE: Proper argument passing
cmd := exec.Command("adb", "shell", "input", "text", userInput)

// SAFER: Input validation first
func executeADBCommand(args ...string) error {
    // Validate all arguments
    for _, arg := range args {
        if containsShellMetacharacters(arg) {
            return errors.New("invalid characters in argument")
        }
    }

    cmd := exec.Command("adb", args...)
    return cmd.Run()
}

func containsShellMetacharacters(s string) bool {
    dangerous := []string{";", "&", "|", "`", "$", "(", ")", "<", ">", "\n"}
    for _, char := range dangerous {
        if strings.Contains(s, char) {
            return true
        }
    }
    return false
}

HTML Reports: Must escape user-controlled data

import "html/template"

// Use html/template for automatic escaping
tmpl := template.Must(template.ParseFiles("report.html"))
tmpl.Execute(w, data)  // Automatic XSS protection

// Manual escaping when needed
safeString := template.HTMLEscapeString(userInput)

Secure Error Messages:

// DON'T: Expose sensitive information
return fmt.Errorf("failed to connect to database: password=%s, host=%s", dbPass, dbHost)

// DO: Generic error message to user, detailed log internally
logger.Errorf("Database connection failed: %v", err)
return errors.New("database connection failed, please contact support")

// DON'T: Expose file system paths
return fmt.Errorf("failed to read file: /opt/panoptic/secrets/api_keys.json")

// DO: Generic error
logger.Errorf("Failed to read configuration file: %v", err)
return errors.New("configuration error")
