Where do start to learn Cyber Security?

Hi HN!

I'm a web engineer working mostly with Rails/Phoenix/Node and React. I want to learn more about security to be able to 1. build more secure applications, and 2. help client secure their existing apps.

What are good resources for this?

Matasano used to mail it to all their potential candidates and told them to read chapters N throgh M.

Unfortunately I've forgotten the values of N and M, so just read the whole thing. It's worth the time.
