MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jamf (NASDAQ: JAMF), the standard in Apple Enterprise Management, today announced it has completed the acquisition of ZecOps, a leader in mobile detection and response.

This acquisition uniquely positions Jamf to help IT and security teams strengthen their organization’s mobile security posture, accelerate mobile security investigations from weeks to minutes, leverage known indicators of compromise (IOC) at-scale, and identify sophisticated 0 or 1 click attacks on a much deeper scale.

“ZecOps’ market-leading mobile detection and response capabilities are a great fit for the Jamf platform,” said Dean Hager, CEO, Jamf. “ZecOps’ ability to thoroughly detect and investigate threats that target mobile users further propels our goal of keeping employees productive and secure no matter what device they use for work.”

Mobile devices now account for 59% of global website traffic, and according to the 2022 Verizon Mobile Security Index, close to half (45%) of companies said that they have suffered a compromise involving a mobile device in the past 12 months.

ZecOps will bring important capabilities to the Jamf platform to help address the growing trend of targeted mobile attacks. Jamf offers robust management and mobile security capabilities for iOS devices; however, access to deeper insights into potential security exploits is technically challenging and requires physical access to the device, which is difficult in a remote work environment. ZecOps is a robust, unparalleled solution that provides the deepest layer of insight and assurance for security-conscious customers with high-value targets that need something more. ZecOps provides the same level of visibility currently available for macOS through Jamf Protect but for iOS, making it capable of detecting the kinds of sophisticated mobile threats that Apple’s Lockdown mode aims to prevent.

New Delhi,UPDATED: Nov 1, 2022 12:31 IST

By Divya Bhati: October received a lineup of software and security updates for Android, iOS, Windows, Chrome and Zoom. The new patches and fixes addressed important security vulnerabilities, bugs and enhanced security features. Generally, these updates are automatically downloaded in the devices if the device is set up on auto download. But in case the auto download is off, it is highly advisable to update the software with the latest patches to keep your device safe.

Here is the list of latest patches rolled out by Apple, Google, Microsoft and Zoom which your device needs to update as soon as possible.

Apple iOS 16.1 and iPadOS 16 update

Apple released the latest iOS 16.1 and iPadOS 16 just after the release of the latest iPad lineup. Both iOS 16.1 and iPadOS 16 have a list of security fixes including a zero-day vulnerability. According to Apple ‘s support page, the exploited flaw is classified as CVE-2022-42827 and could allow an application to run code with kernel privileges.

The operating system update addresses a total of 20 vulnerabilities, three of which are in the kernel, the core component of the iPhone’s operating system. Along with that, the iOS 16.1 also fixes four flaws in WebKit, the engine that drives the Safari browser, of which two might be used to execute code.

Google Android new update fixes flaws in System

Google released the Android Security Bulletin for October with patches for 33 kernel and vendor-related flaws as well as 15 Framework and System faults. One of the most alarming vulnerabilities is a serious security issue in the Framework component that could result in local network access and is designated CVE-2022-20419. This update is now available for the Samsung Galaxy S21, S22, and Galaxy S21 FE and Pixel devices.

Google releases emergency update for Chrome

Google released another emergency update for Google Chrome users to address a type of confusion vulnerability in the V8 JavaScript engine. Classified as CVE-2022-3723, the flaw could be used to run programmes and take over the system controls. Google also released Chrome 106 earlier this month, fixing six high-severity vulnerabilities.

If you’ve yet to update to iOS 16.1, now might be a very good time to do so — because it includes an important fix for a zero-day exploit that Apple says may have already been exploited in the wild.

Apple released the latest version of iOS 16 to the public earlier this week along with a list of improvements and features. There’s one specific security fix that’s worth noting though. Apple says that previous versions of iOS allowed an app with root privileges to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
