Guess who overdid it a bit at the gym and has a sore shoulder today? 😊 But guess who's also not giving up? Anyone need a bit of motivation today? In case you forgot: YOU CAN DO IT!

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.

Software Supply Chain: Bigger (and Scarier) Than We Realize - a blog post by meeeeeee!

When we talk about the software supply chain security, most people think only of dependencies (open-source libraries and frameworks).

If all the tools in your cyber security tool set formed a band, what would they be called? And what type of music would they play? Mine would be called Bleeding Endpoint, and they would play alt metal.

We, as an industry, need to start giving very specific and clear advice, if we want to have better outcomes. No more high level, vague, and ambiguous advice please. #SpecificSecurity #BeSpecific

I post on #CyberMentoringMonday when I remember to, and I’m happy to help out students as well! I’m not a CISO or founder or anything exciting and glamorous, but I’ve got a decade of experience building software and another 6 years securing it.

Womp womp! Send me your groaners!

When should security not block a release? Or should it never block? What is worthy of a block? Or, should we have fixed things before the CI? What are your thoughts? #talkappsectome

How do we get people who are now releasing software, who previously did not because they don't have the skill, to care about Security? People who aren't software engineers. How do we reach them? How do we secure them? I need your advice. #appsec #ai

It's difficult for me to express in words just how frustrating it is when Microsoft, Google, AND Apple try (constantly) to force me to save online (onto THEIR cloud) instead of locally, removing my options. I literally HATE it. Stop taking away my choices.

Like if you agree.

I wrote a blog and made a video about the Vibe Check panel I was on at #SectorCA in Toronto. It talks about vibe coding, helping AIs create more secure code, and how to find shadow AI in your code!
