OAuth is an open standard for access delegation. It lets users grant websites or applications access to their information on other websites, but without giving away passwords.

OpenID Connect is an identity layer on top of OAuth. Even if you haven’t programmed using OAuth and OpenID Connect, you’ve certainly used them for authentication on Google, Facebook, Spotify, and countless other services.

Authlete is a service that provides a set of APIs to implement OAuth authorization servers, and OpenID Connect identity providers.

Justin Richer is the Principal Architect at Authlete and is part of the working group that developed OAuth 2.0. He joins the podcast to talk about the history of OAuth, OAuth as a delegation protocol, the Authlete API, and much more.

Ransomware attacks involve the deployment of malware that blocks access to a user’s or organization’s computer files by encrypting them. The attackers then demand a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption key that will restore access to the files. These attacks are often directed at governments and corporations, and can be costly.

Veeam is a data storage system that was designed specifically to provide protection against ransomware attacks. Object First is a system that works with Veeam to increase its safety and security.

Anthony Cusimano is the Director of Technical Marketing at Object First and he joins the podcast to talk about the growing sophistication of ransomware attacks and the emerging technologies to block them.

This episode is hosted by Lee Atchison. Lee Atchison is a software architect, author, and thought leader on cloud computing and application modernization.

The post Blocking Ransomware Attacks with Anthony Cusimano appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

One of the most famous software exploits in recent years was the SolarWinds attack in 2020. In this attack, Russian hackers inserted malicious code into the SolarWinds Orion system, allowing them to infiltrate the systems of numerous corporations and government agencies, including the U.S. executive branch, military, and intelligence services.

This was an example of a software supply chain attack, which exploits interdependencies within software ecosystems. Software supply chain security is a growing issue, and is particularly important for companies that rely on large numbers of open source dependencies.

Michael Lieberman is the Co-Founder and CTO of Kusari and has an extensive background in software security from his time at Citi Bank, MUFG and Bridgewater. He’s also active in the open source and security communities, including the Open Source Security Foundation and Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Michael joins the show today to talk about challenges and strategies in software supply chain security.
