security.txt is a draft IETF standard for websites (webmasters) to communicate security vulnerability/ research policy. The purpose of the standard is to communicate in a standardized manner. The abstract of the RFC states:
When security vulnerabilities are discovered by independent security researchers, they often lack the channels to report them properly. As a result, security vulnerabilities may be left unreported. This document defines a format (“security.txt”) to help organizations describe the process for security researchers to follow in order to report security vulnerabilities. »
Decided to make a list again of 2019 Conferences. Feel free to ping me on twitter (@matrixtek and I can add anything I missed.

I was at a meetup the other night and a student mentioned that they were learning about bastion hosts and wanted to learn more. So I thought I would do a deep dive on what they are and why to use them.
What Bastion hosts are instances that sit within your public subnet and are typically accessed using SSH or RDP. Once remote connectivity has been established with the bastion host, it then acts as a ‘jump’ server, allowing you to use SSH or RDP to log in to other instances. »
In the past month, I have had the pleasure to be able to record a few podcasts and have some other work published. You can find it all here:

In early May, I gave a presentation on the ‘Future of Reliability Engineering’. I wanted to break down the five new trends that I see emerging in a blog-post series:
