Matthew Lake

Matthew Lake writes about developer-focused security at CodeWalkers, covering security incidents, cybersecurity fundamentals, secure coding practices, threat modelling, DevSecOps tooling, and the compliance requirements that affect how teams ship code.

He is a web entrepreneur and vibe coder with a broader security background spanning both digital systems and physical asset protection. Matthew is also the owner and CEO of Guardian Safe & Vault, a specialist retailer of safes and secure-storage products.

That crossover gives him a practical view of security as more than theory: protecting real assets, reducing risk, and building systems people can trust.

His writing is aimed at working developers who need security guidance they can apply inside real codebases, not abstract threat models that never make it past the whiteboard.
