Apple now working with SecureWorks on software security

Apple and security research firm SecureWorks are now working together after months of controversies on flaws discovered by the latter.

SecureWorks said in a statement on this new development: “SecureWorks and Apple are working together in conjunction with the CERT Coordination Center on any reported security issues. We will not make any additional public statements regarding work underway until both companies agree, along with CERT/CC, that it is appropriate.”

SecureWorks researcher David Maynor and “Johnny Cache” were in fact due to speak to media at the upcoming ToorCon this weekend in San Diego but that meeting is now cancelled. Apple also recently issued a fix for their wireless drivers, which were the topic of controversies between the two groups.
