All traffic is now encrypted using HTTPS, and certificates are configured correctly.
Even so, security tools and reviews continue to report application-level issues.
I thought HTTPS would handle most security concerns, so I’m confused about what’s still missing. What else should I focus on?
HTTPS protects data while it’s traveling between the client and server, but it doesn’t control what happens once that data reaches your application. Issues like broken access control, logic flaws, or insecure data handling are completely independent of transport encryption.
It’s common to assume HTTPS provides broad protection because it’s highly visible and easy to verify. In reality, it only addresses a specific threat: interception or tampering in transit. Attackers who can legitimately reach your application still interact with the same endpoints and logic, just over an encrypted channel.
Security reviews continue to flag issues because application-layer controls must still be designed, implemented, and tested separately.
