[Video Trilogy] Space Skirmish: The Mobility Menace

A mobility menace has descended upon the galaxy. Long, long ago — in technology terms, anyway — the mobile workforce awakened to a new age of on-the-go productivity. However, employees are easily seduced by everything from the dark side of open cloud sharing to the drag-and-drop ease of shuttling confidential company information into apps outside of IT’s approved array.

So sit back, but don’t relax too much as you witness this harrowing trilogy from a galaxy far, far away. It’s about an empire that had a star-sized project literally blow up from mobile malpractice.

PixPirate is a sophisticated financial remote access trojan (RAT) malware that heavily utilizes anti-research techniques. This malware’s infection vector is based on two malicious apps: a downloader and a droppee. Operating together, these two apps communicate with each other to execute the fraud.

From federation to fabric: IAM’s evolution

15 min read - In the modern day, we’ve come to expect that our various applications can share our identity information with one another.
