After 20 years in cybersecurity I never felt like I fit in.
I’m not really a developer anymore and I was never a traditional security professional. My main expertise these days is PowerPoint, research and education.
It’s been a joy carving my own path. It’s been incredibly fun. I feel like I cheated, bypassing most of the steps that many security professionals have had to pass through. Hard steps. While most spent years grinding as a pentester, developer or manager, I was making sure my PowerPoints looked pretty.
As I sit here watching the keynote at
#SecAppDev I realize just how fortunate I have been at
@Manicode.
Thank to you to everyone who has supported me over the past few decades. Friends, fellow professors, the OWASP community, and my amazing customers who have had faith in me and my business to work with their developer teams.
This year was my biggest year at
@Manicode. We keep growing slowly and continue to teach AppSec to developers one live class at a time and will continue to do so for many years to come.
