Jscrambler launches Self-Healing JavaScript to prevent code tempering

Jscrambler, a technology company specializing in JavaScript Application Security and Web Page Monitoring solutions announces Self-Healing JavaScript – a world first for JavaScript application security.

The latest statistics point out that 97% of modern web sites are running JavaScript, and every single Fortune 500 company uses it to build highly competitive web apps; JavaScript keeps growing as the powerhouse of the Web.

However, because JavaScript code can’t be encrypted, it remains exposed so that anyone can access and modify it. This allows malicious actors to reverse-engineer JavaScript code to uncover a company’s proprietary algorithms or bypass licensing agreements. Once again, Jscrambler is tackling this issue head-on with new proprietary technology: Self-Healing JavaScript.

“We are very pleased to introduce Self-Healing JavaScript and to thwart malicious actors head-on. Never before have enterprises put so much critical business logic into JavaScript. As attackers try harder than ever to steal and tamper with a company’s code, the technology we have developed proves once again that Jscrambler is at the forefront of JavaScript security.” said Rui Ribeiro, co-founder and CEO of Jscrambler.

Whenever attackers try to tamper with a piece of code, Jscrambler’s Self-Healing technology will automatically restore to its original, clean version. Not only does this thwart any malicious attempts to modify the code, but it also guarantees that the application does not break after tampering attempts – keeping the end-user’s experience unscathed.

Self-Healing is a must-have JavaScript protection technology for companies with critical applications where, running tampered code or having the application break, can result in serious damage to the business.

Industry sectors such as healthcare or manufacturing rely heavily on JavaScript to build applications and Self-Healing code means greater security, stability and reliability for them.

Apple Releases New Cryptotechnology Framework Called “CryptoKit”

Apple has released a new cryptotechnology framework for app developers that will make it easier to create things like cryptocurrency wallets or blockchain applications.

It’s certainly odd to see a company like Apple, known for liking tight control over their users, to embrace and support something like cryptotechnologies, which were created specifically for decentralisation.

With CryptoKit, developers will be able to easily connect the dots between their Swift app and the blockchain. Apple seems to be following in the footsteps of Samsung, which has an integrated cryptocurrency wallet in its latest Galaxy S10 flagship. It’s very likely that Apple simply prefers to embrace what’s about to come instead of refusing it.

CryptoKit also helps developers to easily integrate checksum hashes into their projects, supporting standards like SHA256 directly with Swift. Previously, developers had to rely on third-party frameworks for such things, or code their own in a worst-case scenario.

While it may not be of high importance right now, CryptoKit could prove to be an essential framework for app developers in the future, with the current trend of pushing for a decentralised and open web and applications.

The framework will support iOS 13 and up once the OS is released, so don’t expect your favourite apps to implement it anytime soon.

Microsoft and Oracle Announce Interconnection of Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Systems

Microsoft Corp. and Oracle Corp. on Wednesday announced a cloud interoperability partnership enabling customers to migrate and run mission-critical enterprise workloads across Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud. Enterprises can now seamlessly connect Azure services, like Analytics and AI, to Oracle Cloud services, like Autonomous Database. By enabling customers to run one part of a workload within Azure and another part of the same workload within the Oracle Cloud, the partnership delivers a highly optimized, best-of-both-clouds experience. Taken together, Azure and Oracle Cloud offer customers a one-stop shop for all the cloud services and applications they need to run their entire business.

Connecting Azure and Oracle Cloud through network and identity interoperability makes lift-and-improve migrations seamless. This partnership delivers direct, fast and highly reliable network connectivity between two clouds, while continuing to provide first-class customer service and support that enterprises have come to expect from the two companies. In addition to providing interoperability for customers running Oracle software on Oracle Cloud and Microsoft software on Azure, it enables new and innovative scenarios like running Oracle E-Business Suite or Oracle JD Edwards on Azure against an Oracle Autonomous Database running on Exadata infrastructure in the Oracle Cloud.

As a result of this expanded partnership, the companies are today making available a new set of capabilities:

• Connect Azure and Oracle Cloud seamlessly, allowing customers to extend their on-premises datacenters to both clouds. This direct interconnect is available starting today in Ashburn (North America) and Azure US East, with plans to expand additional regions in the future.  

• Unified identity and access management, via a unified single sign-on experience and automated user provisioning, to manage resources across Azure and Oracle Cloud. Also available in early preview today, Oracle applications can use Azure Active Directory as the identity provider and for conditional access.  

• Supported deployment of custom applications and packaged Oracle applications (JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, Oracle Retail, Hyperion) on Azure with Oracle databases (RAC, Exadata, Autonomous Database) deployed in Oracle Cloud. The same Oracle applications will also be certified to run on Azure with Oracle databases in Oracle Cloud.  

• A collaborative support model to help IT organizations deploy these new capabilities while enabling them to leverage existing customer support relationships and processes.

• Oracle Database will continue to be certified to run in Azure on various operating systems, including Windows Server and Oracle Linux.
