Question 1

What does the Seezo blog cover?

Accepted Answer

The Seezo blog covers application security, security design reviews, threat modeling, DevSecOps, and AI-assisted AppSec. Posts are written for AppSec leads, security engineers, and engineering leaders who want practical perspective on how security programs operate at scale.

Question 2

What is a security design review and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

A security design review is a structured analysis of how a feature or system is being built, conducted before coding begins. It examines design documents, PRDs, and architecture diagrams to identify security requirements, trust boundaries, data flows, and potential vulnerabilities at the point when they are cheapest to address. Most teams limit reviews to high-risk systems because manual reviews do not scale — leaving the rest of the attack surface unexamined.

Question 3

Why do AppSec teams struggle to scale security design reviews?

Accepted Answer

AppSec teams are typically small relative to the engineering organizations they support. As product complexity grows, design decisions get made across architecture docs, Jira tickets, sprint planning, and product specs faster than security teams can manually review them. Teams triage — protecting crown jewels while the rest of the attack surface ships without design-level security scrutiny. The result is a coverage gap that widens as engineering velocity increases.

Question 4

How is AI changing application security?

Accepted Answer

AI is changing application security in two directions simultaneously. It is increasing the volume of code being written — and therefore the volume of potential vulnerabilities — while also enabling security teams to automate parts of the review process that previously required manual effort. The bottleneck is shifting from finding vulnerabilities to reviewing, triaging, and acting on them at engineering scale.
