Android in the Enterprise New Security Enhancements: Google and BlackBerry St...BlackBerry
BlackBerry and Google have worked together to enhance and simplify secure mobile productivity. The collaboration brings the leader in mobile security together with the world’s most popular mobility platform.
With enterprises rapidly embracing the Android platform to transform their workflows and processes through mobile innovation, Google has made a number of significant improvements in Android-specific security. These enhancements add to Google-provided security services, which are continuously updated to address both new and ongoing threats.
While security at the application and operating system level is critical, enterprises can go further by choosing the right mobility management platform. Building on Google’s security enhancements, BlackBerry Secure EMM Suites deliver the best Android security, productivity, and flexibility, to meet all enterprise use cases.
The complementary solutions delivered by BlackBerry and Google accelerate change while ensuring compliance with corporate security guidelines. This paper describes how these developments work together to keep enterprise Android users productive and protected.
While Android and open source software not-so-quietly revolutionized the mobile industry, Enterprise IT organizations have taken notice. “The consumerization of IT” and ubiquity of mobile devices are forcing a transformation of Enterprise IT infrastructures, something that Geoffrey Moore refers to as “Systems of Record” and “Systems of Engagement.” These new infrastructures will be built largely with open source components. But whether developing a new device or new IT infrastructure, development with open source software is not business as usual. Choosing and modifying components from external sources, integrating with proprietary code, evaluating licenses and community viability, etc., require new processes for choosing components and new ways of providing control and visibility.
In this presentation Peter Vescuso will discuss the issues of OEM development with Android and open source, where and how it impacts Enterprise IT, and for both how to provide the control and visibility required by management while giving developers the freedom they need to create and innovate.

Build Smarter User Interfaces for Legacy Applications with IBM Rational Host ...Strongback Consulting
lder interface systems such as those using COBOL on IBM AIX, or RPG on IBM i are expensive to replace and often difficult to integrate. See how to quickly leverage these systems in an environment without rewriting or having access to the original source code. Using IBM Rational Host Access Transformation Services (HATS), create REST-based or SOAP-based Web services to call from other systems. Presenters demonstrate a customer solution that was originally written in COBOL on AIX that now uses HATS Web services. Presenters show how using the new Dojo features in HATS, teams can rapidly build a new interface without rip and replace of the old system. HATS and Dojo help dramatically reduce data entry errors, improve customer call times, and make it easier to train personnel to use the applications. The session includes demos.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

13. Droidcon 2012
«The bureaucratic mentality is the
only constant in the universe» Dr. McCoy
Governance is key
Enterprises applications require transactions and accountability
Device state and user assignment must be maintainable
E-Mail, Clipboard, Intents and Caches often not properly secured
Security is key
Device Encryption and Application Safety are mandatory
Trusted context either via virtualization (BizzTrust, VMware) or
encryption e.g. with hardware modules (3LM, Certgate, Ageto)
Tradeoff: Most sophisticated protection is not integrated in standard
Android. Requires rooting, which itself is a security risk.

«One of the advantages of being a Captain
is being able to ask for advice without

Bring your own device (BYOD)
Most employees do not want complex device passwords or full
control over their device and route all internet traffic over VPN*
Currently no distinction between Corporate/Private data (except
for dual-boot or application-level encryption)
Rooting and malicious software must be recognized
Connectivity
Connectivity should usually established over secure channels
Android does not support Proxy Authentication, Wi-Fi configuration
Tethering and Bluetooth cannot be controlled
*) Which, luckily, is currently impossible anyways
16. Droidcon 2012
«Reports of my assimilation have been
greatly exaggerated» Cpt. Picard
Missing ecosystem features
Enterprise Market with CA for trusted applications
OTA Update API without Google account
Clear Chrome (Jelly Bean), Motorola and Samsung strategy
Understanding of enterprise features with app makers
Missing security features
MDM which supports user certificates, CA’s and network config
Wi-Fi Proxy Authentication, Full VPN routing, EAP-SIM
Real ASLR and storage encryption for corporate/private stores
E-Mail and Exchange features for S/MIME and two-factor auth
Robust Synchronization (SyncML), Robust Service and SSL API

Recap
Align to enterprise policies, prepare for non-market distribution
Embrace development standards, KPI’s and lifecycles
Thoroughly manage traceability, accountability and privacy
