I have created a free, downloadable, secure coding guideline (22 pages), from my new book, Alice and Bob Learn Secure Coding. You can download it, and sign up for my newsletter, at the link below. Feel free to adopt it at work!

I feel like all I ever do is unsubscribe from newsletters that I never signed up for. Who else feels like this? Just because I emailed your company or bought something once does not mean I want on your marketing newsletter.

If we're developing for cloud only, does that change your approach to securing your applications? If so, how?
