This repository implements MILITARY-GRADE security protocols that would make even the most paranoid security researchers nod in approval. Every line of code is scrutinized, every commit is analyzed, and every merge is validated through our SEVEN-LAYER SECURITY VALIDATION SYSTEM.

🔥 Core Security Principles

  1. 🛡️ Defense in Depth - Multiple overlapping security layers
  2. 🔒 Zero Trust Architecture - Trust nothing, verify everything
  3. 🔐 Least Privilege Access - Minimal permissions by default
  4. 📊 Continuous Monitoring - 24/7/365 surveillance
  5. ⚡ Rapid Response - Incident response within 15 minutes
  6. 🔍 Proactive Hunting - Active threat detection
  7. 📜 Immutable Logging - Tamper-proof audit trails
