About this site

Frontend Firewall (previously JSdiaries) is Frontend blog that is leaning in the security space.

I'm Gareth Dunne and I've been writing about JavaScript and web development for years. I've moved into full stack development over the latest few years but I am still a frontend developer at the core.

However, recent high profile security vulnerabilities in NPM has me reevaluating how I look at this space. Between AI and the software supply chain there are just too many points of attack to keep track of. As a result, I've started digging into security, vulnerabilities and best practices.

This isn't another generic security blog. I'm also not a career security researcher telling you about mandates. I'm a frontend developer trying to wrap my head around AppSec and frontend implications for frontend and beyond.
