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.

Supabase is an open source backend-as-a-service platform and competes directly with Google’s Firebase. A key distinction between them is that Firebase is a document store, while Supabase uses Postgres, which is a SQL-based database management system.

Software Engineering Daily last covered Supabase in 2020 when its Founder Paul Copplestone came on the show, and a lot has changed since then. The platform has continued to grow its feature set and, importantly, this growth has come with an expanded number of security considerations.

Inian Parameshwaran is Head of Product and Engineering at Supabase and a former YCombinator Fellow. He started at Supabase when the platform was still in alpha, and has been there for three years. He joins the show today to talk about the current feature set of Supabase, and the various security challenges that he and his team work on, including how to handle crypto mining exploits, IP blocking, DDoS attacks, and more.

Gregor Vand is a security-focused technologist, and is the founder and CTO of Mailpass. Previously, Gregor was a CTO across cybersecurity, cyber insurance and general software engineering companies. He has been based in Asia Pacific for almost a decade and can be found via his profile at vand.hk.
