With the onset of more modular and cloud-centric architectures, many organizations with disparate monitoring tools are reassessing their monitoring landscape. According to Gartner, hybrid IT (especially with IaaS subscription) enterprises must adopt more holistic IT infrastructure monitoring tools (ITIM) to gain visibility into their IT landscapes.
The guide provides insight into the IT infrastructure monitoring tool market and providers as well as key findings and recommendations.

There are many new challenges, and reasons, to migrate workloads to the cloud.
For example, here are four of the most popular:
Whether it is for backup, disaster recovery, or production in the cloud, you should be able to leverage the cloud platform to solve your technology challenges. In this step-by-step guide, we outline how GCP is positioned to be one of the easiest cloud platforms for app development. And, the critical role data protection as-as-service (DPaaS) can play.
There are a number of limitations today keeping organizations from not only lifting and shifting from one cloud to another but also migrating across clouds. Organizations need the flexibility to leverage multiple clouds and move applications and workloads around freely, whether for data reuse or for disaster recovery. This is where the HYCU Protégé platform comes in. HYCU Protégé is positioned as a complete multi-cloud data protection and disaster recovery-as-a-service solution. It includes a number of capabilities that make it relevant and notable compared with other approaches in the market:
Prioritizing Mobile Application Security
Despite the increase of cyberattacks targeting mobile applications, most organizations neglect, or deprioritize mobile application security until it’s too late. The coverage of high-profile breaches and security incidents involving mobile apps in the news tells us that mobile app security should be a high priority in every organization’s broader security strategy. Failing to properly secure your mobile apps can result in the following:
● Financial loss● Reputational damage● Customer data loss● IP theft● And more
This whitepaper shows organizations how to prioritize mobile app security by focusing on building better relationships between development and security teams. This resource also provides a history and overview of software development and steps that an organization can follow to build a concrete strategy to strengthen their overall mobile app security posture.

Mobile app security shouldn’t be left until the end of the development process. It is possible to integrate security measure throughout the entirety of the development process — even if your team is using one of the agile development methods. If an organization pushes security later in the development process, or even waits until the development process is complete, they run the risk of major complications and the consequences from security incidents. These include:
This whitepaper will show your organization how to seamlessly integrate security throughout your mobile app’s development lifecycle, without slowing your app development teams down. Guardsquare covers each step of the secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC) and shows you how security tests can be built into each of the seven phases: inception, requirements analysis, architecture and design, development, testing, deployment, and steady state.

Apple paints a rosy picture of of the iOS ecosystem’s security. However, the “walled garden,” or closed platform isn’t as secure as it appears. This myth often leads to developers neglecting security measures when creating apps for the iOS ecosystem, as they believe that Apple’s security is superior to Android’s.
In this infographic, Guardsquare provides an overview of Apple’s security features, like the closed system and code signing. Each is examined for both strengths and weakness. The infographic also looks at some of the system’s largest security concerns, including jailbreaking and sideloading.
Guardsquare’s analysis of the iOS system includes an analysis of over 200 tweaks, or scripts used to modify the behavior of iOS apps. The results yielded surprising insights:
As demonstrated in this infographic, it is essential for iOS app developers to strengthen their mobile app’s security in the Apple ecosystem. Guardsquare offers strategic security recommendations to keep your organization’s apps secure, regardless of platform.
Mobile applications are a rapidly growing attack surface. With a variety of tools and techniques available to threat actors, mobile application developers need to build a reliable security framework to address the most common security vulnerabilities. In this report, Guardsquare analyzed OWASP’s “Top 10” mobile security risks and mapped them to RASP and code hardening best practices.
The report also examines the Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS), also produced by OWASP, which details additional risks and resilience guidelines that complement the “Top 10.”
Key insights:● A developer-centric overview of OWASP’s “Top 10” & MASVS● How resilience layer controls can prevent reverse engineering and tampering● Security technique that protect against the OWASP’s “Top 10” mobile vulnerabilities● How to build a layered security approach
Download the full report to learn how you can leverage RASP and code hardening to defend your Android and iOS apps against the most common mobile app security threats.
Application hardening is an important part of mobile app security, and yet, it can feel like a difficult concept to grasp.
Developers often struggle to get hand-on knowledge and experience working with hardening techniques. In this technical magazine, Guardquare’s engineers have created a set of four fun, practical labs to help your organization familiarize itself with application hardening techniques and the security vulnerabilities that each technique thwarts. These four labs include:
• Code Checksumming• Control Flow (non-) Integrity in Android Applications• Native Library Encryption • Encrypting Objective-C Selectors
Developers will walk away from these labs with a greater understanding of the theory behind each technique, as well illustrations and guided examples to help them implement them in their own application security strategy.

Quickly Create adaptive and customized M&A workspace
IT teams can quickly set up a branded Liquit Workspace integrated with existing workspaces for a single user interface on the front end while enabling fast individual and group user customization via the back end. This enables you to meet changing user application and platform needs during and after M&A.
Quickly adapt to application user needs
Take application provisioning, updating, and versioning from hours to minutes for hundreds of users, along with access to thousands of curated applications to deliver merging workforce productivity.
Unify application access provisioning
Eliminate the nightmare of access provisioning across varied on-premises and cloud environments for thousands of users in minutes rather than hours without uprooting native SSO and IAM that are constantly in flux during and after M&A.
Dramatically reduce cost and time expenditures
Eliminate collaboration and communication bottlenecks across on-premises, VDI platforms and clouds while freeing IT time for bigger M&A integration projects and lowering licensing and IT costs.
