Secure Development

Our greatest need as a society is to limit the damage of software disasters such as successful #cyberattacks. Find out how human-centred system #resilience will address this... securedevelopment.org/2025/02/10/res…

Warning: #cybercriminals can and do now pay for ads and infect Conversational AI models! linkedin.com/posts/jeromese…

Some good stuff from Extreme Tuesday on best practices for #agile #vibecoding... linkedin.com/pulse/practice…

Intriguing example of practical #ethics in #research... science.org/content/articl…

#Cyber #scammers - don't mess with Lancaster University, thank you! 🙂bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

What if major #IT software disasters are inevitable, but collapse is not? I’m looking forward to presenting on Cyber Continuity at SREday London Q1 on 12 March 2026. Register here: #tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sreday.com/2026-london-q1… (code SRE20 for 20% off).

@NHSuk What an embarrassingly buggy app. The iPhone app won't accept text in the comment field. The web based interface won't let me log in because it (get this) doesn't support 'patient access' passwords longer than 10 characters--even though Patient Access itself has no such limits!

There’s another way to contact your GP practice, by simply sending your symptoms and requests through their website or the NHS App. Tap it, type it and we’ll take care of it. For more info ➡️ nhs.uk/GPOnlineForms

Still time to sign up for our future of #cybersecurity public sector event on Thursday... ☺️ focus.governmenttechnology.co.uk

Here's a trivial way to make passwords that are convenient to use and satisfy #cybersecurity and the @NCSC , now with a simplified word list: securityessentials.github.io/ThreeRandomWor…

I'll be speaking on the future of #cybersecurity at this public sector event shortly. focus.governmenttechnology.co.uk

The Veeam 2025 #ransomware report shows the importance--and rarity--of verified backups to recover from a #cyberattack. veeam.com/analyst-report…

Intriguing rant from Cory Doctorow on the economics of the #AIbubble. A very worrying set of financial facts... pluralistic.net/2025/09/27/eco…

Interesting view of the effect of AI assistance on development, from the long-running DORA research project. dora.dev

Happy Christmas Holidays!

Interesting analysis on the full cost of #cyber #disasters, and in particular the danger of 'pivot' organisations not recognised as essential: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Good to see helpful #ncsc timelines for migration to #postquantum #cryptography ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/pqc-m…. Basically 2028-33...

We're offering support with modifying your systems to help weather #cyber #disasters – for free! Might you be interested? securedevelopment.org/cyber-continui…

Even Cory Doctorow, a leading #cybersecurity expert, can get phished. So 'phishing training' won't do very much for any of us! #teach-a-man-to-phish" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">pluralistic.net/2025/04/05/tro…

Here's a nice little earner 😀! #KTPs provide pay most of the cost of a good worker to do research, supported by the research clout of a university. Interested in a software- or security- based research project? Drop me a line... lancaster.ac.uk/research/resea…

Interested in realistic #riskassessment for #cybersecurity? We're planning to give small to medium companies (#SMEs) the probability numbers on a plate... 😀 securedevelopment.org/how-likely/

The #NCSC produces strong evidence that we *will* be hacked despite our #cybersecurity defences, then concludes that we should ...errr... build defences! It's poor strategy; clearly we'll do better to prepare for what happens *when* we are hacked! ncsc.gov.uk/collection/ncs…
