ATALAIAHomepage: an application-security program told as one isometric factory that wraps around a watchtower, Atalaia, at its centre. Leadership in the business room reads the market and decides what to build. Product managers carry the idea to a sprint-planning and design room, where backlog, architecture and requirements are debated, and right across from it a threat-modeling room joins planning, developers and cyber. The line itself starts in the toolchain room, where developers write code with IDEs, AI agents and MCP servers and send small pieces onto the belt. Source control splits them into branches; the pipeline runs them on runners that load external actions and plugins. A supply-chain port brings IDE extensions, packages, actions and external registry parts in from outside, and the build grows as dependencies come in, next to the internal registry fetch fed by the registry shelves. Scans and a CI/CD pipeline auditor check the build, which then stops on the DEV and PROD shelves. Dev leads approve and tag the release and check with infra and cloud before deploying to dev (unit tests) and QA (functional tests). A staging gate lets a near-final build into a pentest range where attackers try to break the environment. Then production unlocks and ships to multiple clouds, where happy customers use it, black hats probe it and white hats report what they find through a bug bounty program. Most of these steps are wired to the watchtower, where the cyber team sits.
Application security, from idea to cloud.
We design, test and run your AppSec program: threat modeling, pipeline and supply chain, pentest, bug bounty.
It starts with the market.
Leadership reads the market and decides what to build next to stay ahead. No code yet: an idea, a bet, and the risk the business is willing to take with it. Product managers carry it out of this room.
PMs and engineers turn the idea into a backlog.
Product managers walk in with the bet. Around the planning table they debate execution, architecture, features and requirements, including the non-functional ones: who may use it, what it must never leak.
Next door to planning: what can go wrong?
Before anything reaches the devs room, cyber, product managers, project managers and security champions debate the product at one table. They leave with one model: what can go wrong, what we accept, and what we fix before code exists.
The line starts at the developers' desks.
Developers write the code with every tool at hand: IDEs, AI agents, MCP servers, extensions and local packages. Small pieces leave their desks onto the belt. Endpoint monitoring and a local firewall give Atalaia visibility into it all.
Every piece is sorted by branch.
Source control sits on the belt itself and splits the work: feature branches, develop and main, each with its own protection rules.
Every branch rides the pipeline.
The branches merge onto one belt. Each job is flagged with whichever runner the machinery room hands it: shared, dedicated or ephemeral. Any of them can be called. Runners load actions and plugins that come from outside.
Half of what you ship arrives by sea.
IDE extensions, local packages, pipeline actions and external registries all come in through the same port. One tampered container is enough. The build grows as it pulls them in, next to what comes from your own internal registry.
Scans run, then the pipeline itself is audited.
Automated scans check what was built. Right after, a CI/CD pipeline auditor checks how it was built: runners, tokens, permissions and pinned actions.
The line stops on the shelf.
Signed artifacts land in the internal registry. The same registry feeds the internal packages the next build fetches. Nothing moves on until someone decides to deploy.
Dev lead and infra ship it together.
The dev lead asks infra for a deploy slot for the package sent to the registry. Infra gives the go-ahead; the dev lead fetches it from the DEV shelf, tags v1.4.0 and hands it over. Infra puts it on the deploy belt.
First deploy: dev, then QA.
First the dev environment runs the unit tests. A control on the line checks they passed, and only then does QA run functional and regression tests: does it work as intended?
Through a gate, then someone tries to break it.
Only a near-final build passes the staging gate. Behind it, pentesters attack a staging copy of the environment on purpose, with a scope and rules of engagement. Every crack goes to Atalaia and gets retested after the fix.
Only now does prod unlock.
With QA and pentest green, the line goes back to the PROD shelf. The production deployment unlocks, with reviewed deploy roles, and trucks ship it to every cloud you run.
Customers use it. Attackers probe it.
Once it's live, happy customers log in on the edge cloud while black hats hammer the secondary one from the outside. Every attempt leaves traces that your monitoring should catch before it becomes a headline.
Pay the people who warn you.
White hats test the same clouds, but inside a scope and rules you publish. They file what they find through the program; it gets triaged, rewarded, fixed and retested, and every report lands in Atalaia.
Every line leads here.
Atalaia, the watchtower, sits in the middle of the factory. Design decisions, toolchain telemetry, supply chain intel, scans, the pipeline auditor, registry, deploys, pentest findings and bug bounty reports all report to it.
The people in the tower.
Who sits where, what they own, and how the work is measured and funded.
Let's walk your line together.
A 30-minute call. We map your line on one page: where it's strong, where it's thin, and what to do first.
No price list: every engagement is scoped on the call.
