Multi-Year Developer Survey Reveals Evolving Practices and Foreshadows Further Change

September 12, 2018 Written by Sebastian Holst 3462 Views


In 2017 and again in 2018, PreEmptive Solutions surveyed over 15,000 professional developers asking about their organization’s current and projected use of a broad cross-section of development languages and frameworks.

Evaluating each annual survey result on its own and again together as a whole offers insights into current practices, assumptions about future trends as well as the actual trends that played out during the time between the two survey collection points.

The white paper, Multi-Year Developer Survey Reveals Evolving Practices and Foreshadows Further Change shows a professional development community striving to reduce the number of languages and frameworks they rely upon while simultaneously increasing their commitment and investments in the technologies they retain. As this maturation occurs, overall clarity and confidence in their architecture and mission improves.

Automating and Scaling App Protection with Azure Devops

September 10, 2018 Written by Gabriel Torok 7235 Views
cloud with lock

Prevention, detection, and response

Today, Microsoft announced Azure DevOps – Loosely, it is TFS and VSTS, with its services broken out into distinct components that can be used together or separately. The Azure DevOps services are Azure Boards, Azure Repos, Azure Pipelines, Azure Test Plans and Azure Artifacts. When Azure DevOps was VSTS and TFS, we supported integration with PreEmptive’s Dotfuscator. Today, none of that changes. As Azure DevOps evolves, we will continue to improve our integration, so that you can easily add multi-layered protection to your valuable apps.

In Mindset shift to a DevSecOps culture, Buck Hodges, Director of Engineering for Visual Studio Team Services, stressed the importance of both preventing breaches and “assuming breaches. ”In essence, prevention only gets you part of the way there. “Assuming a breach” allows for effective incident detection, response and recovery process planning.

An Easier, Better Way to Use Dotfuscator

August 22, 2018 Written by Nathan Arthur 4770 Views
Dotfuscator

The release of Dotfuscator v4.37 yesterday marks the first big step toward a major goal: to modernize our Visual Studio integration. This release is numbered as a "minor" release - because, as always, we work hard to not make breaking changes - but its significance is actually very major.

Our current Visual Studio integration has always been one of the primary user interfaces for Dotfuscator; nearly half of our users use it, or have used it. Of those users, most are quite happy with it. (So we know that changing it is no small undertaking!)

However, there are some users who can't use it, or for whom it doesn't work very well. Notably, users with especially large projects, or complex build configurations, or more-modern projects that have heavy packaging components (including Xamarin and UWP), have all only had the option of our "standalone GUI" and a custom-made build integration.

Are You Following These Top 10 App Protection Practices?

August 20, 2018 Written by Gabriel Torok 4890 Views
Security Cameras

Despite the rising costs and impact of application compromise — recent data found that 58 digital records are stolen every second and breaches cost companies an average of $3.6 million — many best practices and procedures for securely designing, developing, testing and protecting applications are largely ad-hoc. As noted by Tech Republic, in fact, exactly ZERO percent of organizations say their security needs are fully met by their current infosec strategy, down from just 11 percent last year.

Some respondents pointed to a lack of skilled resources while others cited budget constraints, but regardless of origin the outcome is clear: Hastily-designed app protection procedures that don’t meet current needs and can’t keep up with evolving demands.

Need a helping hand with your application protection process? We’ve compiled some of the best practices of leading-edge companies into a top-10 list. Let’s get started.

Announcing DashO v9.0

August 13, 2018 Written by Nathan Arthur 3588 Views
DashO

DashO v9.0 is out, and it has a new major version number for a very good reason: we've made some major improvements!

Java 9 and 10 support, including module support

In DashO v8.4, we introduced "provisional" Java 9 support, and we published an article describing our Java 9 roadmap. Java 9 support was provisional because there were cases where DashO would process a Java 9 app in a way that DashO thought was correct but would actually result in a broken app. As part of our commitment to the "principle of least surprise", we didn't want users to discover those issues by accident, so we made Java 9 support require an opt-in.

As of DashO 9, Java 9 (and 10) support is no longer provisional; it is a fully-supported feature, without an opt-in - and without surprises. There are a few edge cases, still, but those will generate build warnings or errors, as appropriate.

Latest NIST Publications Reinforce the Importance of Application Hardening in Securing Data

July 30, 2018 Written by Sebastian Holst 5517 Views
NIST

Now is the time to seriously look at how you are protecting and securing your applications

The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has published two data-security focused documents in as many months.

In June 2018, NIST published guidance on assessing requirements for securing unclassified information (NIST Special Publication 800-171A Assessing Security Requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information).

In July 2018, SPECIAL PUBLICATION 1800-1 Securing Electronic Health Records on Mobile Devices was published offering a practical guide to meeting the specialized security and privacy obligations that come with the management of health records on mobile devices.

Protecting Java applications that use Jackson for JSON



JSON is a standard format for sharing objects and data within an application. When working in Java, there is no built-in support for JSON processing. There are, however, several widely-used libraries and options to choose from. In this article, we will focus on Jackson, which is one of the most popular.

Inventa, Wireless Technology Company, Protects their Android Application with DashO



Inventa, a Wireless Technology Company, Protects their Android Application with DashO

The Beginnings of Inventa

Having worked in the wireless mobile technology domain in the US, Anand Virani, became intrigued by the growing tech and wireless trends and wanted to explore the field more for himself. He noticed a boom in the Internet of Things (IoT) and that smartphones were becoming more central to how people interacted with each other at home, in the office, and in public places. What if there was a way phones could connect with each other without the need for Internet or cloud access? Smartphones were the future and Virani was determined to make a profitable business model based on this new trend.

Surgical Theater Protects their Medical Applications with Dotfuscator



Surgical Theater Protects their Medical Applications with Dotfuscator

How It All Started

How is flying a fighter plane similar to performing neurosurgery? They have more in common than you’d think. In 2005, Monty Avisar and Alon Geri, two Israeli fighter pilots were assigned to work with Lockheed Martin to build a $50 million F-16 Flight Simulator program for the Israeli Air Force to improve hand-eye coordination skills for their pilots during combat. Avisar took on the role of project manager and Geri served as senior engineer; the project was a success.

Four years later in 2009, the two finished their military service in Israel and moved to Cleveland, Ohio. Their experience working in virtual reality applications inspired them to wonder where this technology could also be applied. With several connections to surgeons, the two came to understand the ins and outs of operation procedures; in a similar way, surgeons were also working on a battlefield. What if surgeons could also train like fighter pilots and preview their surgical procedure, much like a fighter pilot could pre-fly their mission? The surgeons could pre-plan the operation from every angle and every approach to increase their situational awareness. And a year later, Surgical Theater was born.

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.
