The Myth of “Secure by Design”
I’ve talked with security leaders who believe their mobile apps are protected. They’re not wrong about what they’ve done—they’re wrong about what it protects against. In recent conversations, I’ve heard three confident defenses: “Our backend is architected correctly.” They’ve implemented separation of concerns, layered API security, authentication at every step. They followed the playbook. “Our…
Platform Engineering, IDPs, and Golden Paths
Introduction: Platform Engineering in Software Development Organizations are faced with fragmentation, inefficiencies, and scaling challenges, which lead to inconsistent processes, duplicated efforts, and technical debt. Additionally, the lack of standardization and governance makes it difficult to ensure security, maintainability, and scalability in software delivery. As a result, platform engineering delivers Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) to…
The Accessibility Gap: Why Compliance Alone Isn’t Enough
How enterprises confuse “scan-based compliance” with true accessibility and why real-user validation is critical. The “Green Checkmark” Illusion Imagine a familiar moment in a modern product team: a release is approaching, the CI/CD pipeline runs, automated accessibility tests pass, and the dashboard lights up green. The Product Manager signs off, confident the experience is ADA/EAA-compliant….
Improving Mobile Game Trust with Protections for Unity
Popular mobile games are under constant attack from threat actors trying to cheat in multiplayer games, bypass DLC purchases, bypass microtransactions, and those just trying to prove they could hack a game. Cheating reduces player trust and leads to fewer users, which reduces revenue and investment into a game. Unity Among Mobile Game Apps To…
How to Meet Compliance Requirements for Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
The moment a mobile app enters the vehicle environment, it stops being just an app, it becomes part of a regulated, safety-critical system. Whether it’s navigation, media, messaging, or voice interactions, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay place mobile applications inside a space governed by strict rules designed to protect the driver and preserve consistency across…
Securing Modern Applications: White-Box Cryptography and OWASP MASVS in Practice
OWASP recently released the OWASP Top 10:2025, the industry’s most widely used snapshot of the most critical application security risks. This latest edition shows a clear shift in priorities: Supply Chain Attacks have risen to third place, while Cryptographic Failures have moved down to fourth. The OWASP community survey also placed Supply Chain Attacks as…
What Is In-Car Infotainment Testing — and Why It Matters in the Era of Software-Defined Vehicles
Think about the last time you got into a car, one of the first things you do is to connect your mobile device to the screen, creating a symbiotic connection between your device and the vehicle, with navigation, music, and messages woven into the dashboard like a second heartbeat. These digital experiences have become just as…
Why the Automotive Industry Deserves More Focus on Software Quality
For decades, automotive innovation was measured in horsepower, design, and fuel efficiency. But that era is shifting. Today, the defining feature of a vehicle isn’t just under the hood, it’s also in the software. Modern vehicles now ship with up to 100 million lines of software code, and that number is expected to climb dramatically…
Two Tales of $4 Trillion: The Reality Behind 2025’s IT Spend
2025 was the most expensive year in the history of enterprise technology. Nearly $4 trillion poured into cloud, AI infrastructure, modernization programs, and enterprise software — the largest leap in global IT spend in three decades. But 2025 told two very different tales. One was a story of vision, where organizations moved decisively to modernize,…
Introducing App Aware Insights: Shareable Threat Analytics for Protected Applications
Understanding how applications are targeted in the wild has traditionally required digging through dashboards, exporting raw data, or translating technical telemetry into something leadership can act on. With today’s release of App Aware Insights, Digital.ai is making that process simpler. App Aware Insights is a new reporting capability that transforms real-world attack telemetry from protected applications…
