Who writes PatchDayAlert.

Every post and digest is written by Colten Anderson, organized into four beats: Commentary, Patch Tuesday, Compliance Watch, and Field Notes. One bar applies to all of them: a reader should leave with a decision they can act on. The rules behind the byline are on the editorial-process page. Reach the editor at hello@patchdayalert.com.
