Fortify Software, the application vulnerability specialist, has warned that software crackers are likely to continue modifying relatively lowcost specificapplication devices, such as ereaders, but that the potential security risks to companies are significant.
The reason, says Richard Kirk, Fortify's European director, is that whilst best practice principles are usually applied to a firmwaredriven device, such as an ereader, in terms of operating system and allied software, all of these principles disappear out of the window when the device is cracked and repurposed.
