When Epic Games announced that they would be cutting out Google when distributing Fortnite for Android, there was major discussion on the interwebs regarding Android security concerns. Surprise, surprise but these concerns turned out to be legitimate, as the first Fortnite Mobile for Android installer came with a very serious vulnerability, which allowed installation of virtually any app, including malware or other nasty surprises.
BlackBerry Spark
BlackBerry has released an update to the BlackBerry Spark Communications Platform for developers. The biggest change to this release (R6) is that developers no longer have to manage their own Key Management Service (KMS). When you create your domain, you now have the option to have BlackBerry Manage and distribute your cryptographic keys.
Back in February 2017, BlackBerry entered the Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) market with the introduction of its BBM Enterprise SDK, enabling developers to integrate secure messaging, voice and video capabilities into applications and services. However, the name didn't really do the development platform justice, and was re-branded to the BlackBerry Spark Communications Platform,.
Back in May we reported how BlackBerry will hold the 2018 Annual BlackBerry Security Summit event in London and New York to address the current situation and trends in secure enterprise mobility. At that point in time registration was unavailable but we are pleased to say that registration is now open for the London event.
