I work at PortSwigger who make Burp Suite. My posts here are personal, not representing the company.

I believe:

  • Identity is the new perimeter
  • Password managers are the best solution available right now
  • National ID cards can be good for security and privacy
  • Output sanitisation trumps input validation
  • Be pragmatic; perfect is the enemy of good enough
  • The long-term solution is for vendors to build more security into systems
