How to navigate between the trenches
Hybrid IT has moved from buzzword status to reality and organizations are realizing its potential impact. Some aspects of your infrastructure may remain in a traditional setting, while another part runs on cloud infrastructure—causing great complexity. So, what does this mean for you? “A Journey Through Hybrid IT and the Cloud” provides insight on:
Recently, we have witnessed the increasing trend of hackers attempting to extort money from both private users, and more recently businesses, via the proliferation of various Ransomware Trojans such as CryptoLocker.
These malicious pieces of software are designed to gain access to and encrypt data and files by generating a private-public pair of keys. The data is impossible to decrypt without the private key which is usually stored on the attacker’s server until the ransom is paid.
Sometimes you just have to accept that prevention isn’t always possible, but mitigating the threat certainly is. With Zerto, systems are protected with Continuous Data Protection in the form of incremental block-level replication, which combined with the journal, Virtual Protection Groups give you the abilities to recover from ransomware attacks.

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.
