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:

• 93% of the scripts provide free access within the targeted apps to premium content or features
• Revenue losses for targeted apps could potentially cost the publisher millions of dollars annually
• Scam apps found in the Apple Store generate approx. $48M in revenue
  

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.

• Help you lock down your data and reduce the risk of ransomware attacks freezing your business
• Teach you about critical IT tactics to consider as part of your backup and recovery strategy
• Get a conversation started in your organization about security and meeting key service level objectives  for the business
