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 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.

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol, or HTTP, is used to load webpages using hypertext links, and it’s the foundation of the web. Tim Berners-Lee famously created HTTP version 0.9 in 1989, and defined the essential behavior of a client and a server. Version 1.0 was eventually finalized in 1996, and its secure variant called HTTPS is The post The Future of HTTP with Nick Shadrin and Roman Arutyunyan appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Cloud applications continue to grow in popularity, but ensuring the security of these applications often presents a formidable engineering challenge. This challenge motivated the creation of Jit.
