PreEmptive is doing its part to help the Vancouver Winter Olympics go off smoothly.

Online viewers of the Vancouver Olympics on NBCOlympics.com are using Silverlight based video and photo viewers delivering full HD quality content for viewers and helping content owners monetize their content. I am pleased to say that Dotfuscator had a hand in all of this innovation providing both protection and optimization for the high performing video player at the heart the NBC online Olympic experience.

For an overall description of the Silverlight solution, see: http://team.silverlight.net/events/let-the-games-begin/

For Microsoft’s own description of the role of partners (including us of course), see: http://team.silverlight.net/customer-evidence/vancouver-olympics-ndash-how-rsquo-d-we-do-that/

The development teams especially appreciated the fact that Dotfuscator can accept and output XAP files (instead of low level DLLs that force developers to manually edit XAP files). This shortens and simplifies the release process – and was critical for an event like the Olympics.

On an unrelated Silverlight note, I was pleased to see David Kelly’s recent blog entry . This Silverlight MVP has identified Dotfuscator’s Silverlight analytics as “a critical tool in your tool Silverlight toolbox.” Good Stuff.

Dockerize PreEmptive's Products using Floating License

Customers occasionally ask us about adding DashO, Dotfuscator, or JSDefender to their Docker-based build processes. We do not provide pre-built Docker containers for our products, but it is relatively straightforward to create your own containers with the distributions we do provide. Historically, setting up licensing for these containers could be a challenge, but with the recent addition of Floating license support to DashO, Dotfuscator, and JSDefender, even the licensing part is straightforward.

This blog provides example Dockerfiles for each product, as a starting point for building your own containers. You will need to replace {x.y[.z]} with the appropriate major.minor[.patch] version.

Navigating the Choice Between Security and Customer Experience

Navigating the Choice Between Security and Customer Experience

Chances are, if you’ve used a mobile banking app, or bought something online, your purchase was facilitated in part by a Fiserv product. Fiserv is a global provider of financial services technology. Clients include banks, credit unions, financial companies and retailers. As a Fintech company, Fiserv provides payment and commerce enabling technology to clients in more than 100 countries, serving as an “industry standard” across the world.

In a recent article “2020 Trends in Fraud and Financial Crime Risk Management” Andrew Davies – Fiserv’s VP of Global Market Strategy writes “Criminals are even more on the offensive, constantly researching new vulnerabilities and developing fresh attack vectors. For financial institutions, that's spurred growth in both process and technology investments to keep pace.” The question that Fiserv and many other financial institutions are asking: “How do you accurately manage detecting financial crime without inhibiting the customer experience?”

“Better licensing means more flexibility,” said CTO Bill Leach during a recent presentation on the release of DashO 11 - PreEmptive’s Android and Java Protection Product. “The new floating license and product activation features allow users to provision DashO on the fly – for example, on cloud hosted build agents that don’t already have DashO preinstalled. By specifying the license key at run time, development teams can more easily automate their builds, no matter where they run.”

Revamped licensing and activation are not the only updates in this latest version—other highlights include:

Cyber-attacks have increased in quantity and sophistication in 2020, but we may not have heard about them in the news. Covid-19 updates have dominated headlines, and our physical health and safety has taken the spotlight over our technology’s health and safety. While news of vaccines and outbreak hotspots will continue to be the most important “news of the day” – it is important to be aware of security breaches that threaten the safety of our data and privacy.

Protecting Industrial Internet Applications

Bayshore Network Case Study

Today’s utilities, factories and other infrastructure are exposed to high risk. The software that controls many of these entities is not protected. In the last 20 years, the way industrial environments operate has completely changed. Many industrial systems were designed with permissive set-ups that assume only the “right people” in the “right place” would ever give instructions. Past systems were not built with exposure to the internet in mind, and as a result they relied on this “air gap” to limit access to only authorized personnel within the organization. The rate of innovation within technology and wireless systems has outpaced the rate of development in security features. Control centers have gotten better - high tech displays and more capability, but this has led to an exposure to untrusted environments… and in many cases this threat has not been addressed.
