Securing apps on the most secure mobile platform: Metaforic hits BlackBerry 10 | ZDNet
Summary
Metaforic, a UK-based security company originally funded by the Scottish government, has been around since 2006 and already makes products for Android and iOS. On Tuesday it announced it was adding BlackBerry 10 to the fold at the request of a large DRM customer, Douglas Kinloch, vice president of business development at Metaforic, told ZDNet. "However, the applications that are going to be supplied through the various app stores may not necessarily use all the full capabilities of BlackBerry 10, or there may be something specific that our customers would like to add to the protection of the software. "These individual fragments of software are interrelated and check 100 percent of the code that is being compiled, including pre-compiled areas, such as libraries, that some applications will be using as part of their overall process. "If anybody tries to make a change to the application or tries to analyse, or identify and remove any of our security checks, they will not be able to do so without triggering a [defensive] response from our system."
