#230: In today's digital age, it's no secret that relying solely on passwords for security is no longer an effective solution. We all understand the risks associated with using just passwords, but the question remains: what other alternatives do we have at our disposal? What if you could eliminate passwords all together and still make all your communications completely secure? In this episode, we speak with Mike Malone, Founder and CEO at Smallstep, about his background with OpenID and OAuth and how increasing security today doesn’t mean also increasing budgets.   Mike’s contact information: Twitter: https://twitter.com/mjmalone LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mmalone/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

#221: As an application developer, how often do you receive spreadsheets of findings from your security team? Do you drop everything you’re doing and work your way through the 57,239 findings during your existing sprint? Our guess is probably not. Even if you did, how would you know where to start? Just because a finding is marked as critical does not mean that it’s exploitable. In this episode, we speak with Ravid Circus, CPO at Seemplicity, about how you should be handling and remediating these security problems. Hint: it’s not by using spreadsheets, but rather it needs to be in your day to day work.   Ravid’s contact information: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ravid-circus-302a8/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox/   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
