# Threat Model
The design goals for Authelia is to protect access to applications by collaborating with reverse proxies to prevent
attacks coming from the edge of the network. This document gives an overview of what Authelia is protecting against but some
of those points are also detailed in [Security Measures](./security/measures.md).

## General assumptions
## General assumptions
Authelia is considered to be running within a trusted network and it heavily relies on the first level of security provided by reverse proxies. It's very important that you take time configuring your reverse proxy properly to get all the authentication benefits brought by Authelia.
Some general security tweaks are listed in [Security Measures](./security/measures.md) to give you some ideas.

## Potential future guarantees
* Define and enforce a password policy (to be designed since such a policy can clash with a policy set by the LDAP server).
