Hi
My customers are asking for assurances that any delivered software be protected from the new Intel (and AMD?) vulnerabilities Spectre and Meltdown.
What, if anything can or should be done with PowerBuilder and / or any PowerBuilder produced applications?
Tangentially, what are people's various development and customers' sites doing to protect against these vulnerabilities, within PowerBuilder, but also for the computers as a whole.
What types of execution degradation have been noticed once any protections are put in place?
I suspect this subject will be of significant interest for a a while to come as it's fairly new and apparently potentially a huge issue.
Thanks for any info you can offer up as to what we, as developers, can do to protect our applications and customers, and also anything we can offer up to our customer sites to might help to make them more secure.
Neil
