  7. Identity Management 101
    Identity Management 101
    In The Secure World of Unsecure Unicorns
    Giuliana Carullo

    I’ve been studying secure unicorns and their habits for a pretty long time. During that time, and as a conclusion of my extensive effort, I figured out that a big part of them are known as procrastinating unicorns whose famous motto is: I’ll think about security later... After even more studies of these creatures, I found their weapon: IAM...

  9. Supply Chain Security for Solo Builders
    Supply Chain Security for Solo Builders
    Protect Your Dependencies, Secret and Deployment, Even when AI Pick the Packages.
    Kristian Reformis

    Your app is mostly other people's code. You chose a few packages, and those packages pulled in dozens more. Your AI coding agent installs whatever makes the demo work. Your secrets sit in files you will one day share. Your server has not been updated in months. None of this means you failed. It means you build alone, with no security team and no reviewer. This book gives you a realistic, low-cost routine to reduce supply chain risk in a small project, including the risks your AI coding agent introduces. In one weekend plus thirty minutes a month, you will learn to: - map what you actually ship, from direct packages to hidden transitive ones;- vet a new package in five minutes before you install it;- update safely, one small reversible step at a time;- read scanner reports without panic and without ignoring them;- keep secrets out of your code and rotate them when they leak;- protect your code host, registry, and cloud accounts;- run a minimal build pipeline and a boring, updated small server;- keep your AI coding agent leashed with permissions and rules files;- recover calmly from a compromised package, a leaked key, or a hijacked account. You will not become a security expert. You will become a solo builder with a written inventory, safer accounts, tested backups, and a monthly routine you can sustain for years. Most existing books on this topic target large companies, Kubernetes, and enterprise CI/CD. This one is for one person with limited time. It says what to do first, what to skip, and what is overkill. No setup is risk-free, and this book promises none. It promises fewer easy failures and faster recovery.

  12. Security Architecture for Modern Embedded Systems
    Security Architecture for Modern Embedded Systems
    A Design-First Approach to Embedded Cybersecurity
    Matteo Trovo

    Embedded security is an architecture problem, not a checklist.This book shows how to build a coherent security design for real devices: what embedded cybersecurity means, why it’s different in embedded systems (constraints, lifecycle, physical access, limited patching), and how to turn that into practical design decisions. You’ll learn threat modeling and trust boundaries, then the core mechanisms that must work together: secure boot and root of trust, key management, secure communication, and robust firmware updates. Early access: updated regularly as new chapters and examples are added. Purchasers receive updates.
