There’s a well-accepted truth in application security: the earlier in the software development process you consider cyber security, the more influence you can have on addressing any issues found.

That’s how you’re supposed to start these things, right?
I promised myself I’d write more this year. And yet, it’s almost May and I haven’t written a word about my journey as a founder. So let’s start today.
We’ve recently started the new financial year. It’s going to be a big one.
