Lessons on Web security threats and testing

Here are some recent webcasts/podcasts I recorded for SearchSoftwareQuality.com (@SoftwareTestTT) on Web application security:

Security Lesson: Beating Web application security threats

Security Lesson: How to test for common security defects

I feel like I'm just scratching the surface on this topic but, thinking about what's going on out there, many people have yet to realize there's even a problem. Focus on these basics and you're going to eliminate the large majority of Web security risks.

Enjoy...

I'm quoted in today's Wall Street Journal, p. B9

Joe Mullich, a writer for the @WSJ, has put together some great stories on cybercrime and data breaches in Marketplace (section B) today. My contribution is on smartphone security and it's located on page B9 at the end of the piece titled "A Surge of Smishes - Workers' laxness opens door to smartphone data theft".

Also check out the piece on TigerText (the secret texting app) on page B11. Cool stuff.

Check out tomorrow's Wall Street Journal @wsj

I'm being featured in a piece on #smartphones and mobile security in tomorrow's Wall Street Journal. More to come soon...

Don't just do something, sit there.

Seriously, it's time to kill the #KillSwitch bill that I've written about recently. It's dangerous, it's not what America is about and it's only going to make things worse for our country, our economy and our personal liberty.

Here's some more details along what you can do about it today:
