Alan Shimel

When I founded the Security Creators Network and the Security Creators Meetup and Awards, it was my intention also to establish a home for the security community. I launched Security Boulevard with a major focus on what came to be known as DevSecOps. In the last seven years, our “Security Connect: DevSecOps Edition at RSAC,” along with all of its associated activities, has become one of the largest gatherings in the world for DevSecOps. Today, we are bringing everything together in the realization of my dream. Security Boulevard intersects the security and the Security /DevSecOps communities. Lessons I have learned in publishing Security Boulevard, co-founding StillSecure and other activities culminate here with the launch of Security Boulevard. Launched in September 2017, staging-securityboulevard.kinsta.cloud has quickly establishing itself as an indispensable resource for Security education and community building.

Security Boulevard is the home of the Security Creators Network (SCN). Over 400 member blogs strong, the Security Creators Network has been promoting and distributing some of the leading bloggers’ content in the security space for over 14 years. The site contains over 25,000 posts from the SCN and is growing every day.

In addition to the SCN content, Security Boulevard also features original content authored by many of the most distinguished journalists in the field. Audio and video content is also featured on Security Boulevard via Security Boulevard Chats and Security Boulevard TV.

Security Boulevard via Techstrong Group, is also the producer of several events around the world including DevOps Connect@ RSAC, the Security Creators Meetup and more. If it is about security, it is on The Boulevard!
