The rise of apps has engaged millions of independent app developers, who rarely encounter any but low level security techniques.

Only by introducing the powerful motivating techniques developed for other disciplines can we hope to upskill independent app developers, and achieve the security that we’ll need in 2025 to safeguard our identities and our data.
