Individual Bloggers

Troy Hunt

Troy focuses on teaching developers designing their applications in a secure manner, offering courses on Security-by-design etc. His blog offers an insight into some simple ways you can help keep your websites and apps secure, from a code point of view as well as some infrastructure help. He also runs the Have I Been Pwned service, and so offers a unique perspective on Data Breaches and privacy issues resulting from mass collection of data by companies.

Scott Helme

Lars is a freelance developer based in Australia. He has a large number of Pluralsight courses available, and is an advocate for HTTPS Everywhere.
