Security designed for Firebase
SubscriptionSecurity1,087 impressions#6 of its week
Firebase makes building apps fast — but it also leaves you exposed. FlameShield is an all-in-one platform that helps teams secure, monitor, and protect Firebase projects without slowing down development.
🛡 SAST for Firebase: Automated static analysis scans your rules and configs for misconfigurations, bad defaults, and exploitable patterns.
🔑 Security Rules Simplified: Catch missing or overly broad rules before attackers do.
💸 FinOps-aware: Get alerts on runaway queries and spending, plus insights into optimising usage.
⛔ Denial of Wallet (DoW) Protection: Our kill switch lets you instantly shut down abusive traffic before it burns through your budget.
📊 Actionable Dashboards: Visibility across security, usage, and cost in one place.
Whether you’re a startup shipping fast or an enterprise scaling Firebase, FlameShield adds the guardrails to keep you safe — without slowing you down.
💡 Why FlameShield?
Because Firebase is amazing… until your rules are wrong, your data leaks, or your bill explodes. FlameShield closes the gaps so you can focus on building, not firefighting.
