The Challenge:
Thanks
to recent innovations in the mobile device industry, demand for mobile
applications has soared. In fact, consumers have already downloaded billions of
applications for mobile devices, and industry reports point to ongoing rapid
growth in the mobile apps market.
At
the same time, malware continues to infect sites at an explosive rate. The
proliferation of mobile applications – and the growing threat posed by malware
– mean that mobile devices and networks now face an even greater risk of
becoming infected with malicious content. Once an infection occurs, the
consequences can be potentially disastrous for consumers, developers, and
network operators alike.
The Solution:
Mobile application developers need to
secure their code and content to protect the integrity of their software and
the reputation of their business. Similarly, consumers need assurances that the
latest cool game or productivity application that they are downloading to their
mobile device is coming from a trusted source and has not been tampered with
during transit. At the same time, legitimate independent software vendors
(ISVs) who typically publish multiple applications – and several versions of
each application – need easy-to-use tools to track and administer their software.
Robust tools, such as a Web-based management portal, can track releases and
safely “recall” specific versions that become infected without impacting the
rest of their published applications.
An
adaptable, a versatile, easy-to-manage code signing solution that allows
developers to create applications for specific mobile platform vendors and
enterprises needs to be designed. For example, software development houses may
use enterprise-class code signing to secure internal applications. Software testing
companies can use this service as part of their certification process, either
internally or as part of a requirement by their customers. Firmware development
companies can use customized code signing services to help ensure their
firmware’s integrity.
