Apple Joins 'Em, With Black Hat Presentation on iOS Security Model
An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from Network World: "For the first time, Apple will officially be in attendance at the annual Black Hat security conference which is scheduled to run through Thursday of this week. This is a notable development for two reasons. First, Apple has never formally attended the conference. Two, many of the more prominent stories to emerge out of previous Black Hat events have centered on Apple security. Representing Apple at the conference will be Apple platform security manager Dallas De Atley who is scheduled to deliver a speech on Thursday about the security technologies in iOS. Some have speculated that Apple's decision to attend the conference is rooted in their desire to make further inroads in the enterprise market while others believe it's a sign that Apple recognizes the growing importance of having a more open relationship with the hacker community at large."
"while others believe it's a sign that Apple recognizes the growing importance of having a more open relationship with the hacker community at large." Lol, no... Apple is run by the people who are described perfectly and in great detail in the book 'snakes in suits'. Psychopaths that is... They do not want to have an open relationship. They need something from you. Probably an add will come on later: 'we work closely with the hacker community to make our stuff more secure" but we all know what happens when you find a bug, exploit or whatever on their devices and store. You get banned and sued right into oblivion.
