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.

Going the Distance — Remote Work and Effective Cybersecurity in the Age of Coronavirus

It’s official. COVID-19, more commonly known as the Coronavirus, has been declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) with hundreds of thousands of cases worldwide. In the United States, restrictions are ramping up as case numbers soar — New York governor Andrew Cuomo has ordered all nonessential workers to stay home, and my own state’s governor Mike DeWine has issued a statewide shelter-in-place order.

Along with disruptions to daily life, the expanding impact of COVID-19 has forced businesses to rapidly pivot and adopt remote-work models — even if they have no experience with mobile connections and on-demand collaboration. The result is a surge in remote everything, from team chats to primary school education to project management and even healthcare delivery. See my previous blog on our customer commitment during the age of Coronavirus.

And while efforts to bridge the digital divide are having a positive impact for both workplace productivity and the mental health of those in isolation, there’s a potential pitfall: Cybersecurity. As noted by CNBC, there’s already been a significant uptick in scam and phishing emails — but what happens if malicious actors breach critical apps and services?

At PreEmptive, we’re closely following the evolving Coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency, and our thoughts are with those affected and their families during this difficult time.

We are taking precautionary steps to continue normal operations without affecting our customers. At the same time, ensuring the health and safety of our customers, partners, and employees is our highest priority.

We have provided application protection software to the world's top organizations for more than 20 years. Although, this case is somewhat unique, it is not the first time we have been confronted with economic disruptions and uncertainties. Prior critical lessons have helped shape us into the company we are today: a robust organization with layers of contingency plans in place, a strong balance sheet, and an experienced team that values long-term relationships with our customers and partners above all else.

Evolving Hazards, Emerging Hope and the Expanding Human Element

The theme at the RSA conference this year is the “Human Element” — the critical role of individuals in the efficacy of organizational security measures. Along with sessions about the hazards of IT complexity and the hope of ethical AI, the expanding impact of COVID-19 concerns offered a real-world example of human elements at work, highlighting how IT staff can both help — and hamper — the effectiveness of infosec efforts.

Here’s a look back on some of my biggest takeaways from RSA 2020.

Unlike Y2K, 2020 was not preceded by waves of doomsday predictions, hype and frenetic IT overhauls. Developers are still under pressure to produce more, in less time, and at a lower cost, enterprises are as committed to their love/hate relationship with software as ever, and app users still expect perfection.

…but don’t let the usual crush of work and expectations lull you into a sense that it’s just the same old sprint to the next development project. Recent enforcement precedents, regulatory milestones and standards updates strongly suggest that 2020 app development and app security requirements will be anything but “business as usual.”

PreEmptive is dedicated to protecting your apps, wherever and however they are built. Our recent release of the Dotfuscator 6.0 beta adds cross-platform support, allowing you to protect your application on other platforms besides Windows. This allows for intuitive integration into Xamarin.iOS projects on macOS.

In this blog post, we'll go through the steps required to bring this functionality to your existing Azure DevOps Pipelines and AppCenter builds.
