The past few months have seen both Android and iOS fall prey to various security attacks, with more malware attacks and exploits being uncovered on a daily basis. First, let’s look at the newest zero-day Android vulnerability. This vulnerability leverages the ”use-after-free” memory flaw to wreak havoc on mobile devices. In layperson terms, the use-after-free flaw allows access to memory recently freed (after performing some operation) to execute malicious code.

Raygun gathers a great deal of data about how users are interacting with your applications - from errors and crashes to users affected by performance problems. We help thousands of teams gain visibility into the health of their apps - and one of the best ways developers do that is with Raygun’s dashboards. When we first launched dashboards in 2017, we knew you needed them to be easy to use, customizable, and actionable.

Some development problems are too complex, some timelines too tight, and some projects too greenfield for established teams to tackle.

Aside from 5 new collectors, 16 bug fixes, 27 improvements, and 20 documentation updates, here’s what you need to know.

As compliance managers, we often find ourselves in a struggle. Our responsibility is to uphold compliance standards but in order to achieve this, we need to “sell” the concept to the relevant stakeholders, inter alia the business teams and R&D. We’re put in the position of justifying required changes and processes and are thus mistakenly perceived as business “stoppers” and not enablers.

For your team to effectively respond to incidents, you need a shared, unambiguous incident definition so you can recognize when an incident has occurred and assign the appropriate severity. Definitions of an incident differ across teams, but whatever definition you use, identifying and monitoring key service level indicators (SLIs) can help you understand when your service is operating normally—and when its performance has degraded to the point where you need to trigger an incident.
