Project Overview

What You're Building

A professional portfolio website that:

Hosts your professional identity and project content
Detects and blocks real cyber threats in real-time
Analyzes attacker behaviors
Communicates your cyber maturity to employers
Demonstrates security as a lifecycle

Security Objectives

Threat	Defense Layer	Evidence
SQL Injection	Input validation, Prisma ORM	Attack logs, blocked queries
Prompt Injection	AI input sanitization	Detection logs, filtered requests
Auth/AuthZ Failures	Auth.js, RBAC	Session logs, access denials
Broken Access Control	Resource guards	Permission checks, audit trail
Malicious Payloads	WAF rules, filtering	Blocked payloads, patterns
Bot Attacks	Rate limiting, CAPTCHA	Rate limit logs, bot detection

Technical Stack

Core Technologies

Technology	Version	Purpose
Next.js	16	App Router, Server Components, API Routes
React	19	UI Components
TypeScript	5+	Type Safety

    return NextResponse.json(
      { error: 'Failed to send message' },

2.3 Secure AI Chatbot

// app/api/chat/route.ts
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server';
import { streamText } from 'ai';
import { anthropic } from '@ai-sdk/anthropic';
import { auth } from '@/auth';
import { validateAIInput } from '@/lib/ai-security/validation-middleware';
import { logAISecurityEvent } from '@/lib/ai-security/ai-security-logger';
import { z } from 'zod';

const requestSchema = z.object({
  messages: z.array(z.object({
    role: z.enum(['user', 'assistant']),
    content: z.string().max(4000),
  })).max(50),
});

export async function POST(request: NextRequest) {
  try {
    const session = await auth();
    
    const body = await request.json();
    const parseResult = requestSchema.safeParse(body);

    return NextResponse.json(
      { error: 'Chat service error' },
      { status: 500 }

  }
}

Phase 3: Threat Monitoring

3.1 Security Event Collection

All security events are automatically logged via the logSecurityEvent function. Events include:

Authentication attempts (success/failure)
Rate limit violations
WAF blocks
Bot detections
Prompt injection attempts
Authorization failures

3.2 Real-Time Event Stream

// app/api/security/events/stream/route.ts
import { NextRequest } from 'next/server';
import { auth } from '@/auth';
import { requireRole } from '@/lib/security/auth-guard';

export const runtime = 'nodejs';

export async function GET(request: NextRequest) {
  const session = await auth();
  if (!session?.user || session.user.role !== 'admin') {
    return new Response('Unauthorized', { status: 401 });
  }
  
  const encoder = new TextEncoder();
  let intervalId: NodeJS.Timeout;
  
  const stream = new ReadableStream({
    start(controller) {
      // Send heartbeat every 30 seconds
      intervalId = setInterval(() => {
        controller.enqueue(encoder.encode(': heartbeat\n\n'));
      }, 30000);
      
      // In production, subscribe to Redis pub/sub for real events
      // For now, this provides the SSE infrastructure
    },
    cancel() {
      clearInterval(intervalId);
    },
  });
  
  return new Response(stream, {
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'text/event-stream',
      'Cache-Control': 'no-cache',
      'Connection': 'keep-alive',
    },
  });
}

Phase 4: Dashboard & Reporting

4.1 Security Dashboard Page

// app/(protected)/dashboard/security/page.tsx
import { Suspense } from 'react';
import { ThreatDashboard } from '@/components/security/ThreatDashboard';
import { requireRole } from '@/lib/security/auth-guard';

export default async function SecurityDashboardPage() {
  await requireRole(['admin']);
  
  return (
    <div className="container mx-auto py-8">
      <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold mb-8">Security Monitoring</h1>
      
      <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading dashboard...</div>}>
        <ThreatDashboard />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  );
}

4.2 Security Report Generation

// app/api/security/report/route.ts
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server';
import { auth } from '@/auth';
import { generateSecurityReport } from '@/lib/security/reports';
import { z } from 'zod';

const querySchema = z.object({
  days: z.coerce.number().int().min(1).max(90).default(7),
});

export async function GET(request: NextRequest) {
  const session = await auth();
  if (!session?.user || session.user.role !== 'admin') {
    return NextResponse.json({ error: 'Unauthorized' }, { status: 401 });
  }
  
  const { searchParams } = new URL(request.url);
  const params = querySchema.parse({ days: searchParams.get('days') });
  
  const endDate = new Date();
  const startDate = new Date(endDate.getTime() - params.days * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
  
  const report = await generateSecurityReport(startDate, endDate);
  
  return NextResponse.json(report);
}
