Why is it essential to protect the Intellectual Property of your newly developed software?
Revolutionizing the existing way of doing things is what most technology companies are after when they innovate. So why do we spend so little time and attention protecting these innovations when they are what generates growth and revenue?
While noticeable ransomware attacks make headlines because they threaten to release millions of users’ data, another attack threatens your business’s very future: code theft.
Unfortunately, legislation, as it stands today, may provide some compensation in the event of code theft, but it will not prevent the damage. So, save time and money in the long run, acknowledge that this threat is real and identify from whom and what you need to protect your intellectual property. Here’s how.
You have launched a successful application that gives you an edge over your competitors but also generates envy. Many people around you, competitors, technology providers, and customers, would like to understand what you do and how you do it. Attackers can try to access your source code and decompile it to get free access, reverse engineer it, modify it for another use, bypass security countermeasures or license checks, etc.
There are times when your code is more at risk than others, so although you should always protect your IP, a few situations require extra precaution. That’s when you:
There are several technical solutions to prevent code theft, but only some work in some situations. Therefore, you should only go slow when deciding which one to implement. Wrong protection can powerfully impact your app’s performance, and you would end up with a highly protected solution that no one can use. Balance your risks and opportunities before deciding.
Cybersecurity is not a topic to be handled in a try and learn mode, because once the source code is stolen, it’s too late. Here are the 10 best practices to ensure your IP is well protected:
Work with a certified partner who will support you at every step to maximize IP protection. QShield by Quarkslab provides a technological answer to applications’ intellectual property protection issues. It protects your code against reverse engineering and privacy breaches by embedding advanced layers of protection and obfuscation into the core of your code. As a result, your source code, cryptographic keys, and sensitive data are protected against static and dynamic attacks, and you can respond locally and remotely without investing in expensive programs and devices.
