Introduction

Let’s get the obvious out of the way: With the sheer volume of resources available and the rapid pace of changes in the cloud security space, it can be both overwhelming and challenging to stay up to date. After many iterations, I found a system that works well for me.

My System

I prefer having everything in one place, so I use RSS feeds to aggregate content from various sources. RSS apps are dime a dozen, but I wanted something simple, clean, and minimal (being free would be a bonus). After trying out a few, I settled on Feed Flow. What it has going for it is that it is open-source, has a decent & clean UI, is easy to use, and is entirely free. I can sync my feeds across devices using Dropbox. I scroll through my feed timeline about ~1-2 times/ two days, reading the shorter articles and saving the longer ones for later on my reading list.
