🛡️ Aegis CLI Security Guide

Military-grade security documentation for the world's most secure AI development orchestrator

Built with Gallifrey Consulting's zero-trust security principles and obsessive attention to detail. Every feature designed with security-first architecture and pixel-perfect threat mitigation.


🎯 Security Philosophy

Zero-Trust Architecture

  • Never trust, always verify - Every operation requires explicit verification
  • Least privilege principle - Minimal permissions for all operations
  • Defense in depth - Multiple layers of security controls
  • Continuous verification - Real-time security validation and monitoring

Enterprise Security Standards

  • Cryptographic excellence - Modern algorithms (AES-256-GCM, Argon2, ChaCha20)
  • Tamper detection - Cryptographic integrity verification for all data
  • Audit trail completeness - Comprehensive logging of all security-relevant actions
  • Compliance readiness - Built-in support for SOC2, ISO27001, GDPR, HIPAA

🔒 Core Security Features

1. Comprehensive Vulnerability Scanner

OWASP Top 10 Detection Engine

# Full OWASP scan with detailed threat analysis
aegis scan --owasp --detailed --threat-model enterprise

# Category-specific scanning
aegis scan --owasp --category A01,A02,A03 --compliance-check

Detection Capabilities:

  • A01: Broken Access Control - Authorization bypass, privilege escalation
  • A02: Cryptographic Failures - Weak encryption, key management issues
  • A03: Injection - SQL, NoSQL, LDAP, command injection detection
  • A04: Insecure Design - Architecture and design vulnerability patterns
  • A05: Security Misconfiguration - Default configs, excessive permissions
  • A06: Vulnerable Components - Dependency vulnerability analysis
  • A07: Identity/Auth Failures - Authentication bypass, session management
  • A08: Software/Data Integrity - Supply chain, CI/CD security issues
  • A09: Security Logging - Insufficient logging and monitoring detection
  • A10: Server-Side Request Forgery - SSRF vulnerability patterns

Advanced Secret Detection

// Example patterns detected by Aegis scanner:

// ❌ CRITICAL: API Key Hardcoding
const apiKey = "sk_live_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"; // DETECTED

// ❌ CRITICAL: JWT Secret in Code
const jwtSecret = "super_secret_jwt_signing_key_123"; // DETECTED

// ❌ CRITICAL: Database Credentials
const dbUrl = "postgres://user:password123@db.company.com:5432/prod"; // DETECTED

// ❌ CRITICAL: Private Key Exposure
const privateKey = `-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
MIIEowIBAAKCAQEA4qiw8PWs7PpQKwlmZ...`; // DETECTED

// ❌ HIGH: Weak Cryptography
import crypto from 'crypto';
const hash = crypto.createHash('md5').update(password); // DETECTED

// ❌ HIGH: SQL Injection Risk  
const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`; // DETECTED

🚨 Security Incident Response

Automated Incident Detection

# Real-time security monitoring with automated response
aegis monitor --security --auto-response --incident-webhook https://security-ops.company.com/incidents

# Security event correlation and analysis
aegis analyze --security-events --timeline --threat-intelligence

Incident Response Workflow

  1. Detection - Real-time vulnerability scanning and threat detection
  2. Analysis - Multi-agent security analysis with threat classification
  3. Containment - Automated security recommendations and manual approval
  4. Eradication - Guided remediation with security validation
  5. Recovery - Secure restoration with integrity verification
  6. Lessons Learned - Security posture improvement recommendations

Security Playbooks

#### **Critical Vulnerability Response**
1. **Immediate Actions** (0-15 minutes)
   - Isolate affected components
   - Notify security team via configured channels
   - Generate incident UUID and start logging
   - Run comprehensive security scan to assess impact

2. **Assessment Phase** (15-60 minutes)
   - Engage @security-architect for threat analysis
   - Engage @compliance-auditor for regulatory impact
   - Document affected systems and data classification
   - Estimate business impact and customer exposure

3. **Containment Phase** (1-4 hours)
   - Implement temporary security controls
   - Patch critical vulnerabilities with security validation
   - Update security configurations per agent recommendations
   - Verify containment effectiveness with follow-up scans

4. **Communication Phase** (Ongoing)
   - Internal stakeholder notifications
   - Customer communication if data is affected
   - Regulatory notifications if required (GDPR 72h, etc.)
   - Security community disclosure for responsible disclosure

🔐 Cryptography & Key Management

Supported Cryptographic Standards

  • Symmetric Encryption: AES-256-GCM, ChaCha20-Poly1305
