Good topic, OP. But do you remember how many requests there were for a separate section on the forum to discuss security? I will just quote the collection of topics that @BenCodie very conscientiously selected. Just look at the collection of valuable guides, but they are unfortunately scattered throughout the forum, and I fear that your topic will also one day disappear into oblivion.

I started compiling a list until I stumbled across compilations and decided to bulk them all into one post. With all of these, a solid board of resources could be created. This does not include the ample amount of new information that could be created by topic creators if this board were to become a reality.

My contributions, varying in press, general discussion and informative:
