Security reviews often feel intimidating. They do not have to.

This guide gives you a clear, step-by-step browser security workflow using *KaBOOM Agentic Devtools**.

## Quick Terms

- **Security audit**: Structured check for risky behavior.
- **Credential**: Login secret (password, token, key).
- **Transport security**: Safe data transfer over the network (for example HTTPS). https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security

## The Problem You Are Solving

You want to catch obvious security risks early, not after an incident.

## Step-by-Step with KaBOOM Agentic Devtools

### Step 1. Run a focused security scan

```js
analyze({what: "security_audit", checks: ["credentials", "headers", "cookies", "transport"], summary: true})
```

### Step 2. Inspect suspicious network behavior

```js
observe({what: "network_bodies", status_min: 400, limit: 40})
```

### Step 3. Review logs for leak patterns

```js
observe({what: "logs", min_level: "warn", limit: 80})
```

### Step 4. Track improvements over time

```js
configure({what: "audit_log", tool_name: "analyze", limit: 50})
```

## Good Security Hygiene

- Never log full secrets.
- Keep cookies correctly scoped.
- Require encrypted transport.
- Re-run audit on major auth changes.

## You’re Building Safer Defaults

Security is not a one-time event. It is a repeatable process. *KaBOOM Agentic Devtools** makes that process easier to run regularly.
