The Core Technical Bottleneck We SolveCost of Inaction: High

Modern web applications face automated scrapers, brute-force attacks, SQL injection attempts, leaky S3 buckets, exposed API tokens in client bundles, and unpatched server software. A single security breach can devastate user trust and lead to regulatory penalties.
