Welcome to Deploying Securely, hosted on Mirror!
Do you work in the world of software? Do any of the below situations describe problems you have to deal with on a regular basis?
Product security teams
- Are you always fire-fighting when it comes to the most recent security issue, question, or discussion?
- Is it a challenge to communicate with business leaders about the relative severity of vulnerabilities or the likelihood of someone bad exploiting them (or…gasp…even understand these things yourself)?
- Does it seem like those focused on revenue generation ignore your recommendations and accept wild levels of risk?
Business leaders
- Does it always seem like security is a “blocker” or that your risk management organization is crying wolf?
- Are you unable to understand the overall cyber risk landscape for your product or company?
- Can you even weigh this risk effectively against all the other challenges you are facing?

With each issue of Deploying Securely, I’ll do a deep dive into a software security topic, providing actionable recommendations and frameworks to help you protect your customers and your business.
Every issue that I put out via Substack, I will also post here.
Why am I publishing on Mirror, in addition to Substack, you ask? Well, the primary reason is that I think web3 represents the next frontier of cybersecurity (and pretty much everything).
I am still learning the ins and outs, but look forward to coming up to speed and sharing my journey along the way. I thought a good way to start would be to do some writing on a distributed publishing platform like Mirror. It’s the wave of the future, so I recommend you hop onboard!
Additionally, in the shorter run, I wanted to ensure that I had a measure to protect against de-platforming. What I say isn’t especially controversial (unless you love the Common Vulnerability Scoring System), but things can turn on a dime these days, so it helps to be prepared.
In the meantime, buckle up, and enjoy the ride!
