Blue Cedar

Protecting mobile apps while they run is the work of Blue Cedar's security software. They run on iOS and Android apps, whether those apps are built for consumers or for staff inside an enterprise, and the company says they work with any development framework or programming language. The approach is to enhance apps that are already compiled, so security controls can be added without writing new code.

Protection built into finished mobile apps

Blue Cedar Enforce adds in-app defenses on top of what mobile operating systems provide. These include runtime self-protection, data encryption, data loss prevention, handling of single sign-on credentials and authentication controls. Each protected app can send incident data to a central cloud platform, and the company says its open APIs let customers feed the results into their own security systems.

Zero-trust access for devices outside the network

Blue Cedar Connect is a clientless zero-trust access product that routes an app's traffic through a company's own network security tools. The company says this extends secure access to unmanaged devices and keeps policy enforced even when a device is not connected to the corporate network.

A release platform for mobile teams

Blue Cedar Platform is a cloud DevSecOps platform for the final steps of shipping a mobile app. It lets teams string together release tasks, such as modifying an app, signing it and distributing it, into a repeatable workflow. The company says the platform suits any framework or language used to build apps.

Editions for BlackBerry and Microsoft

The company also offers versions of its tools built on BlackBerry and Microsoft products. Its material describes three layers of protection: mobile runtime self-protection, device-independent data protection and zero-trust remote access, all delivered through the same platform for customers who build for both consumers and employees.
