Some of the concepts used while securing an application during the development and deployment phases are as follows:
- Baselining: Baselining is the process of recording all of the applications that are installed on a mobile device. At a later stage, you could run another baseline that would tell you which applications have been recently installed. If you have an up-to-date baseline, you can identify zero-day viruses. The baseline would show an addition of an unknown application and this would be the zero-day exploit.
- Immutable Systems: Immutable systems are composed of components so that every time a system is upgraded, the whole system is replaced as a clean install and never upgraded. This is best used in a cloud or virtual environment, but it would not work for on-premises and non-virtual environments as it would take more...
