Threat Defense

See the attack. Control the response.

Exposure assessment, application defense and continuous detection with analyst-led response.

Scope of delivery

What gets built.

Exposure assessment

Attack surface, application tests and ranked remediation.

Threat controls

Tuned protection policies, bot controls and virtual patching.

Detection & response

Behaviour baselines, anomaly triage and response procedures.

Operating evidence

Incident records, posture reporting and control validation.

Delivery templates

Exposure findings, control tests and response steps.

Use these worksheets to assign security findings, test protection policies and document incident actions.

nexarq / exposure registerWorking template

Public application exposure register

Record how a public application can be reached, which controls apply, and what needs to be fixed.

Entry pointWhat to verifyRecord before closing
Login endpointCompare failed logins, successful sign-ins and challenge results over the same period.Affected path, evidence link, account-abuse control and assigned owner.
API endpointCheck authentication, request limits and whether the limit applies to the intended identity.Method and path, observed limit, expected behaviour and remediation ticket.
Origin addressCheck whether the application accepts direct traffic that bypasses the approved edge path.Test source, response, allowed ingress paths and retest result.

Before you close the record

  • Every open finding has an affected asset, evidence link and owner.
  • Priority reflects business impact and exposure, with the reason recorded.
  • Closed findings include a retest; accepted risks name the approver and review date.

Use this as an assessment worksheet. The entries describe checks to perform, not findings from a customer environment.

From brief to operation

A clear path to production.

  1. Baseline

    Asset inventory. Dependencies. Effective controls.

  2. Engineer

    Target architecture. Policies. Versioned configuration.

  3. Validate

    Behaviour tests. Exceptions. Recovery checks.

  4. Operate

    Cutover record. Runbooks. Named owners.
