This gives users a quick resource to gain feedback and advance new concepts or ideas.

Rajiv Sodhi, the managing director and vice president of GoDaddy India and Australia, announced the launch and stated, “GoDaddy strives to empower aspiring businesspeople and the Indian startup community to pursue their aspirations. GoDaddy is dedicated to creating cutting-edge products, services, and solutions that will enable entrepreneurs, start-ups, and small businesses to communicate, work together, and expand their businesses. Flare is a good fit for the Indian corporate landscape right now. Third place currently belongs to India in the world’s startup ecosystem. The government’s efforts to support the “Start-up” community through a number of initiatives and to make conducting business easier are likely to encourage more entrepreneurship in the nation and result in the realisation of several business concepts. The seeds of ideas are cultivated and grown at Flare.

Users can swipe left to “skip,” swipe right to “snooze,” or tap an idea to learn more about it and “heart” it when they first launch the Flare app. An entrepreneur can ask followers of a concept questions once it has received enough “loves.” Users can commit to support an idea and become future clients, giving businesses useful information about the potential market for their goods or services.

According to Tina Nguyen, director of product management and co-creator of Flare, “We created Flare because we recognise that Flare is the first place to go for someone that wants to the take the next step, whether you’ve just had a fleeting thought and want to explore where you might be able to take it or you’ve been dreaming of starting your own business.”

Top Charts, a feature of Flare, makes it simpler for business owners to find backers for their concepts. Top Charts gives users who might have missed the idea during its validation stage the chance to follow the concept and offer input by showcasing the top 20 most popular ideas throughout the Flare community on any given day. Moreover, Flare allows users to sign in using their Facebook and LinkedIn accounts, making it simpler for users to identify themselves.

By serving as advisors, Flare also enables users to give back to the neighbourhood. It allows people the chance to impart their expertise in a particular field or discipline to those looking for guidance. Advisors can actively participate in a concept’s development by supporting it. Also, followers can make a promise to purchase something in the future, sending an important message to the business owner about the demand and viability of his or her new product or service.

The New Attack Frontier: Mobile Applications https://g-technews.com/2023/04/10/the-new-attack-frontier-mobile-applications/ https://g-technews.com/2023/04/10/the-new-attack-frontier-mobile-applications/#respond Mon, 10 Apr 2023 09:10:55 +0000 https://g-technews.com/?p=1106 In an effort to demonstrate that no technology or gadget was immune to their attacks, Kaspersky Labs found the virus “Cabir” in 2004. This infection was thought to be the creation of expert virus writers. Nokia phones using the Symbian operating system were infected by the virus. We are about to witness the negative aspect of the new threat that it marked as its commencement.

Mobile apps boost productivity, but they can also expose users to a variety of security and data privacy threats, including device loss or theft, data leakage, malware infection, and unauthorised access to corporate networks and systems. The bring-your-own-device (BYOD) culture raises more questions regarding mobile security.

Businesses must be sure to safeguard both corporate-issued and BYO devices, according to Ravikumar Sreedharan, VP, Application Services & MD, Unisys India. As a strategy to increase the distribution of both corporate-approved consumer apps and specialised mobile business apps, businesses should think about developing enterprise application stores. In addition to mandating app passwords and remotely wiping enterprise data in cases of theft of corporate provided devices, they should additionally encrypt enterprise data (while leaving out personal data on BYO devices).

Globally expanding mobile device use has transferred web hazards from traditional Computers to our cellphones. Mobile applications are the programmes we download into our mobile devices, whereas app stores are centres for downloading software.

Mobile apps are the new frontier for risks since users who download from app stores can find up getting malware instead.

Cybercriminals are utilising this trend by designing dangerous apps for wide-scale distribution due to the consumerization of smartphones and the lack of user awareness.

Why are mobile apps targeted?

With more people using smartphones, there is a rising need for mobile applications. Depending on their operating system, consumers can choose from the Android Play Store, iTunes App Store, Windows Phone Marketplace, BlackBerry App World, and Samsung Apps.

By 2017, tablets and smartphones will increasingly be the target of endpoint security breaches, according to Gartner. Currently, there are three mobile device attacks for every attack on a desktop computer. Also, through 2017, rather than being the result of technological attacks on mobile devices, 75% of mobile security breaches will be the consequence of mobile application misconfigurations, such as the exploitation of personal cloud services through apps on smartphones and tablets. Android, an open source operating system, is seen as being weak.

“Open-source software allows third parties to access, edit, and even relicense the software,” says Tarun Wig, co-founder of Innefu Labs. Because the source code is publicly available and available to hackers and malevolent users, security of open source software is a major problem for organisations wishing to incorporate it as part of their software stack.

Android security hole

With 57.29% of the world’s population using Android smartphones, it is the most widely used platform, followed by iOS and Windows. Due to its open app distribution architecture that allows for participation by any developing parties, the Android platform has become the target of ongoing cyberattacks.

Symantec’s Internet Security Threat Report (ISTR.20) estimates that 17% of all Android apps—or just under a million in total—were actually malware. This comprises 46 brand-new malware families for Android in 2014. Moreover, there could be up to 2.3 million “grayware” programmes, which aren’t technically malware but yet exhibit unwanted behaviours like inundating the user with advertisements. New Android flaws could make it possible for remote attackers to take control of vulnerable devices by sending them a malicious multimedia message (MMS).

Ritesh Chopra, National Manager for Norton by Symantec, stated that Stagefright was a recent Android vulnerability. Users of Android devices are at risk from these flaws since most of the time, all it takes for an exploit to be launched is for the victim to glance at the harmful message. The Android Stagefright Media Playback Engine Several Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities concern this part of Android that controls media playback. Any of these vulnerabilities that are successfully exploited could provide a hacker access to remote code execution. As a result, a hacker might be able to infect the device with malware and steal information from locations that Stagefright has authorization to access.

Downloading from app stores carries risks

To improve the end-user experience, the emphasis has recently switched from quantity to quality. Since end users must utilise mobile apps, there should be a strong health warning attached to their use. Grayware apps, which aren’t malicious by design but annoy and unintentionally hurt users by tracking their behaviour, made up 36% of all mobile apps in 2014, according to Symantec’s ISTR.20 report.

We have often observed that a sizeable fraction of mobile app developers do not adhere to information security best practises. It was discovered that many mobile apps do not securely handle user credentials and actually threaten user or device security and privacy in a number of ways, according to a Symantec study on the security of popular health and fitness apps. “Due to the way they carry out their operation, many mobile apps may mistakenly reveal other users’ personal information. According to Ritesh Chopra of Norton by Symantec, mobile apps too have their share of exploitable flaws that might be used by hackers to steal information and carry out other nefarious actions.

Unwanted actions including using premium rate services, click fraud, mining virtual currencies, and other undocumented features like back doors can all pose security problems.

Hence, even while applications are entertaining, increase productivity, and make life easier, some “Rogue” apps pose serious concerns.

How can security risks to smartphones be handled?

Hackers are increasingly using mobile devices due to the prevalence of smartphones and tablets because it is much simpler to hack them than a laptop. We have already had to deal with the costly and embarrassing repercussions of not taking security seriously, therefore it is always preferable to learn from the past.

Here are some recommendations from Sridhar Iyengar, Vice President at ManageEngine, that customers can utilise to safeguard their gadgets:

Mobile Containerization:

 The goal of containerization is to protect the personal space of mobile end-users while storing corporate information in safe, secured containers. Enterprise IT administrators have complete control over the container, allowing them to secretly push apps there and keep an eye on the information flow. One of the best practises for mobile security, particularly in BYOD and COPE settings.

Device Encryptions: 

Data encryption is essential for many industries, including the legal, medical, and government sectors, which deal with a lot of highly secret data. This security measure is still crucial since it makes the data on a mobile phone useless to hackers or thieves of mobile devices.

Wipe Selected Areas/Remote Lock:

These possibilities are relevant for businesses that allow BYOD initiatives. When an employee decides to leave, selective wipe can be used to remove only the company data from the employee-owned device. When workers suspect their gadgets are misplaced, remote lock can be turned on right away.

Education/Awareness: 

Many security procedures centre on informing the device’s end users about security issues. In order to leverage sufficient mobile device security, it is crucial to have them taught about certain practises like enabling user authentication services, having a strong password, PINs, and setting up VPN to access corporate data.

In conclusion..

While creating new applications and operating systems, developers should put security as their first priority. In this networked age, it is a very compelling selling factor and helps developers build their reputations, which encourages further sales and helps them avoid negative press or even legal action.

With every company having its own specialised app, security managers will need to conduct a thorough and unbiased analysis of their security threats because the future depends on it.

Take Care of Your Finances with These Top 5 Apps https://g-technews.com/2023/04/10/take-care-of-your-finances-with-these-top-5-apps/ https://g-technews.com/2023/04/10/take-care-of-your-finances-with-these-top-5-apps/#respond Mon, 10 Apr 2023 09:06:50 +0000 https://g-technews.com/?p=1103 People frequently neglect to keep track of their costs and place less emphasis on emergency savings, investments, and financial planning. It is always preferable to make a list of all ongoing costs, such as bills, loans, and taxes, which can only be kept track of if you have a budget.

If you know your demands, all of this is a breeze in the era of apps because there are so many different sorts of finance management apps readily available in the app stores.

These apps are essential for everyone, whether you’re paying your taxes, maintaining your monthly budget, or planning your investments. Let’s look at some of the top money management apps on the market now.

MoneyView

Money View software gathers all financial messages from banks that are received on a mobile device to provide a clear, thorough picture of a user’s spending habits. The financial picture is then accurately depicted. According to the app’s security assurances, it does not collect or read personal SMSes or passwords. The app doesn’t ask for bank account numbers or passwords either.

If you get SMS notifications for overdue bills, it will also appear in the Bills Due area. Trends provide a snapshot of your daily, weekly or monthly spending, and cash management records each cash withdrawal.

When a bill is due, the smart alert feature notifies users and offers the option to pay bills through the app. You may anticipate the buzzer on this app to sound anytime your monthly spending limits are about to be reached.

ZipSIP is a useful feature that enables you to invest quickly in a portfolio of mutual funds selected by professionals based on your risk tolerance.

The fact that the app saves your bank login information, including the username and password, is a significant security problem.

For your bills, such as credit card bills, you can set up automated payments. Additionally, it maintains your account, income, and portfolio and allows you to directly purchase stocks and mutual funds. There is no need to manually enter any data because the software is linked to the bank.

Both iOS and Android users can download MyUniverse.

Does the Security of Mobile Payments Reduce Risks and Raise Consumer Expectations? https://g-technews.com/2023/04/10/does-the-security-of-mobile-payments-reduce-risks-and-raise-consumer-expectations/ https://g-technews.com/2023/04/10/does-the-security-of-mobile-payments-reduce-risks-and-raise-consumer-expectations/#respond Mon, 10 Apr 2023 09:03:28 +0000 https://g-technews.com/?p=1100 New research from the international IT organisation ISACA shows that improvements in mobile payment security technology are actually reducing risks and boosting consumer confidence to levels previously only seen with plastic payment cards.

The free “Is Mobile the Winner in Payment Security?” tutorial was published. The question lists a number of benefits of mobile payments over traditional and online purchases. Mobile payments have undergone significant advancements, with tokenization, device-specific cryptograms, and two-factor authentication being cited as the three most important ones.

According to Christos Dimitriadis, Ph.D., CISA, CISM, CRISC, the ISACA Board chair and group director of information security for INTRALOT, “mobile payments, with embedded, improved and transparent security controls, are a great example of how security can act as a business enabler, contributing to the creation of end-user trust.”

The following are a few of the mechanisms enabling improvements in mobile payment technology:

  • Tokenization: Secure mobile payment programmes, often known as mobile wallets, send a randomly generated token to the point of sale (POS) terminal and payment network rather than the card’s Primary Account Number (PAN). The data of the customer is protected while in transit by this token. In the ongoing race to keep ahead of hackers and other risks, tokenization is the security solution that is driving mobile payments ahead of card payments in the protection of consumer sensitive financial information, according to the ISACA handbook. The tokens can be set up to only be used for transactions that meet particular requirements for an exact time period, a particular retailer, and a defined dollar amount. Tokens can be securely mapped back to the original payment card data only by the issuing bank and approved organisations.
  • Specific cryptograms for each device The cryptogram confirms that the cardholder’s device is where the payment came from. The cryptogram supplied to the POS terminal with the token prevents it from being utilised on another mobile device in the event that a hacker gets their hands on the transaction data for mobile payments. This makes any data that has been stolen unusable.
  • Two different processes are used in two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of protection against mobile payment fraud. Common forms of identification include something the person is aware of (like a password), something they physically own (like a phone or a payment card), and a biometric like a fingerprint, voiceprint, or facial recognition.

A mobile device that has a mobile wallet on it can be remotely wiped if it is misplaced. Also, as the consumer’s credit card data is not stored on the mobile device, the existing credit cards do not need to be changed.

In many cases, merchants may gain from mobile payments just like customers can. According to the guidance, “a fundamental benefit for businesses is that increased security should cut fraud and hence lower costs.” Additionally, the report points out that incorporating mobile payments into a merchant’s operations opens the door for more developed customer loyalty programmes and permits transactions even when a consumer does not have access to their physical payment card.

Both the general public and security professionals who believe mobile payments to be unsafe may be surprised by the security benefits of mobile payments. Only 23% of IT and cybersecurity experts stated they thought mobile payments kept personal information safe, according to ISACA’s 2015 Mobile Payment Security Survey. Nonetheless, Ovum predicts that 1.09 billion people will utilise mobile payments globally by 2019, up from 44.55 million in 2014.

Modern mobile payment methods have numerous advantages, but the guidance also mentions some potential vulnerabilities, such as when users register a credit card once for the first time in the mobile wallet application. Providers of mobile wallets may utilise techniques such sending issuing banks information about payment cards and the location of a device, and if there are any differences, a call for further verification may be placed.

In order to guarantee that any potential new scenarios are adequately addressed, the handbook urges businesses who accept mobile payments to periodically review their risk control procedures.

A Look at Five Companies for 2016 https://g-technews.com/2023/04/10/a-look-at-five-companies-for-2016/ https://g-technews.com/2023/04/10/a-look-at-five-companies-for-2016/#respond Mon, 10 Apr 2023 08:54:02 +0000 https://g-technews.com/?p=1091 Venture investors wagered heavily on hyper-local delivery startups as well as on potential businesses in sectors like education, healthcare, and tourism in 2015 as they competed fiercely to support the next big idea. To expand their businesses, start-ups had to rely more and more on investor capital in the second half. Startups like Ola, Snapdeal, Quikr, Zomato, and Paytm crossed the $1 billion valuation threshold and joined the ultra-exclusive “Unicorn” club. Here are our top five start-ups to keep an eye on in 2019.

Bumper

Bumper, a one-stop shop for all post-sales automotive support and needs, was established in 2015. The Bengaluru-based business assists customers in obtaining precise quotations for any damage, paint, or repair work. Also, it makes it easy for consumers to schedule appointments at any of the more than 100 workshops in Bangalore for any necessary auto maintenance or repairs. All major brands’ robust authorised dealer networks have been maintained by it.

Akhil Gupta is the project’s driving force, and it just received $0.5 million in startup funding from SAIF partners, which it hopes to use to create a knowledge hub of technological professionals to address all automotive-related issues.

All You Should Know About Apple iOS 9 https://g-technews.com/2023/04/10/all-you-should-know-about-apple-ios-9/ https://g-technews.com/2023/04/10/all-you-should-know-about-apple-ios-9/#respond Mon, 10 Apr 2023 08:48:10 +0000 https://g-technews.com/?p=1084 Apple unveiled its most recent iOS 9 for iPhones and iPads on Monday at its annual Worldwide Development Conference. The most recent version of iOS is application-focused and includes some fresh software hacks for Apple gadgets. Apple announced that it will be a free upgrade and that no iOS 8-running devices will be excluded from this release. But, a public beta will also be available in July.

Let’s examine the Cupertino juggernaut’s most recent operating system.

Siri

Apple’s personal assistant now has a new, livelier, and more colourful user interface. Additionally, Apple stated that the new Siri in the future iOS 9 software upgrade will be tightly integrated with Apple’s own applications and be capable of much more. For instance, if you ask Siri to display the photos from your vacation to the United States last May, she will do it. The personal assistant can now tell when you’re in your car, so you may ask Siri to remind you to grab your passbook. 

Apple also said that Siri will be able to recognise your patterns and adapt its behaviour to fit your way of living. Now that it is “Proactive,” it can also instantly start playing music when you connect in your headphones, receive an invitation from Mail, and add it to your calendar without requiring you to open another app.

News

Like Samsung’s Flipboard-inspired news streaming app, HTC Blinkfeed, and iOS 9’s Apple also featured a news-based app. According to Apple, it is named News and focuses on “custom layout, rich typography.”

The programme draws content from publications like Wired, The Atlantic, etc. and has a design that resembles a cross between Newstand and Flipboard. Every time a user checks it, it is updated. Large photographs, graphics, infographics, embedded videos, and interactive components are common in news stories and articles. Based on the subjects you are most interested in, it compiles all the articles you want to read from the best news sources.

Notes

A formatting toolbar will be included with the Notes programme. More features will now be available straight from the programme itself, including the ability to create checklists, upload photographs to your notes, draw and sketch inside of Notes, connect to notes from the share sheet, and more. Also, iCloud.com and all of your devices will be updated with the changes you make to your notes. This way, you’ll always have the most recent notes at hand.

Maps

Transit directions will be available in iOS 9’s Maps, according to Apple, however they are currently only available in a few places (it will kick off in the US and China). Users can now utilise Maps as a guide when using public transit. According to Apple, when you design a route, every step of your journey is outlined from point A to point B. The Nearby feature of the Map app will also make it simpler to see what is nearby and choose where to shop, eat, and more. Users will also be able to tap on a station to see all the lines that pass through it while the information for trains is being fetched (there is even a “multi-modal routing” option that allows you to switch from trains to buses, etc.).

Spotlight

When you pull down to reach the Spotlight panel in iOS 9, Siri will be more closely connected with Spotlight, allowing it to propose items, like as contacts, depending on your email and calendar.

Spotlight Search and Siri may essentially collaborate to provide app recommendations, contacts, and much more. Also, you’ll see videos in your Spotlight search results, something iOS 8 does not offer.

Last but not least, Apple announced the availability of a search API: “When a user performs a search, we can uncover material behind the apps they have on their device, and when they tap they’re deep-linked into the app,” the company stated.

Healthkit

Apple’s senior vice president of marketing, Craig Federighi, announced that Apple HealthKit will soon begin tracking “reproductive health, which will undoubtedly be advantageous for users. The iPhone’s Health app will be able to monitor a woman’s cycle and ovulation after the iOS 9 upgrade. A number of additional new HealthKit indicators, including UV exposure and the frequency of sitting down, were also released by Apple.

Passbook and Apple Pay

In iOS 9, Apple Pay will now be known as Apple Wallet. The UK will get it the next month, and within the following month, the number of stores that accept Apple Wallet will top 1 million. Also, according to Apple, you may now add shop credit cards and reward cards (in addition to bank debit and credit cards).

Pinterest, which is introducing Buyable Pins so that you can get things directly from Pinterest, will be one of the new partners on the list. Buyable Pins will be available later this month on iOS only.

Safety and Privacy

As iOS 9 becomes more sophisticated and individualised, security and privacy also improve. According to Apple, your ID will now require two-factor authentication. Your Apple gadget will become more secure as a result, allowing you to use it without worrying about your sensitive data. By using two-factor authentication, you will be asked for a verification code when logging in from a different browser or device. Your phone or other Apple devices will automatically show this code. You may sign in instantly by entering the code, keeping out any illegal users.

Your Touch ID-enabled iPhone and iPad’s passcodes will now contain six numbers instead of four. Your passcode will therefore be far more difficult to decipher given that there are one million possible combinations rather than just 10,000.

Increased battery life

According to Apple, important applications and technologies have been improved to reduce power consumption throughout the entire operating system, giving you more battery life for daily activities. Also, Apple has incorporated a new Low Power option that allows you to significantly increase battery life. 

Migration to Android

Move, an app that allows you to seamlessly switch from your Android handset to your new iOS device, will be included with iOS 9. Your contacts, message history, camera images and videos, browser bookmarks, mail accounts, calendars, wallpaper, and DRM-free music and books are all safely transferred. You can also rebuild your app library with its assistance. Your usage of any free apps, such as Facebook and Twitter, is recommended for download from the App Store. And your iTunes Wish List now includes your purchased apps.
