We have just released Dotfuscator Professional 4.31 and it’s available for immediate download (both for clients and as a free evaluation).

Dotfuscator Professional 4.31

Extends its application protection to new development communities for the very first time.

Support is now available for:

.NET Core 2.0 (released last week by Microsoft) and
The Unity game engine. Supported app platforms include PC, Mac, Linux Standalone, Android, and Windows Store (UWP). Supported scripting back-ends include.NET and Mono.

Improves application protection and DevOps automation for existing development communities

Dotfuscator now offers:

Upgraded processing of Xamarin code and XAML. Smarter parsing and analysis dramatically reduces the number of explicit renaming exclusions required.
Benefits include simplified configuration, enhanced renaming protection, and faster configuration, testing, and build times.
Simplified configuration of runtime controls such as anti-tamper, anti-debug, and auto-expiry. One notable example is the ability to target multiple methods (locations within code) to inject a single control.
Benefits include making anti-debug, anti-tamper, etc. more difficult to defeat, faster app hardening configuration, and simplified audit and testing functions.

Enhances existing technology to better combat the current state-of-the-art in reverse engineering, tampering, and debugging technologies. This release of Dotfuscator is the latest salvo in our continuing mission to keep you one step ahead of the bad actors looking to subvert your applications and compromise your data.

Integrating DashO into a Maven Build

Maven is perhaps the most widely-used project management tool for Java. Based on the Project Object Model (POM), it is used not only for compilation of source code, but also dependency management, documentation, running tests, packaging, deployment, and more. We are frequently asked if we have a Maven plugin for running DashO. Though we do not offer a specific Maven plugin, adding DashO to your Maven-based project is surprisingly easy by leveraging Ant.

In an already digital world, the Covid-19 pandemic forced society and businesses to adopt additional modes of technology and press on for more advanced application development. Business’ focus shifted to increased remote work collaboration, streamlined contact tracing work, and enhanced consumer e-commerce connections. With little knowledge on how much longer social distancing measures will be in place, more on-demand application development options are needed to successfully maintain workplace functionality.

Gabriel Torok, Founder and CEO of PreEmptive, recently authored an article as part of the Forbes Technology Council. In it, he describes four application trends that help predict emerging expectations for the future of enterprise.

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:
