Important question for software developers: what do you wish you knew more about in regard to creating more secure software? If you could suddenly know something, like Neo in the matrix, what would it be?

I will see if I can help.

I updated my training page and made a real brochure instead of “here’s a slide deck and blah” 😅
If you’re looking for secure-coding training that respects developers and actually sticks:

I need to give an official name to something we are all talking about right now: Security drift.

Security drift is when software continues to work, but slowly becomes less secure over time, without anyone intentionally making it that way.

For those of you who have trouble accepting or asking for help: I recently needed help, asked for it, and received. I literally had no idea the level of kindness and generosity that was available to me. I have been (recently) overwhelmed by the amazing kindness that other people are willing to give.
