Apple hires iOS expert and security researcher Jonathan Zdziarski

Leading iOS expert and security researcher Jonathan Zdziarski who has written several books on iOS and was an outspoken supporter of Apple during its battle with the FBI last year is joining Apple’s Security Engineering and Architecture team to work on protecting user security and privacy.

"I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a position with Apple’s Security Engineering and Architecture team, and am very excited to be working with a group of like-minded individuals so passionate about protecting the security and privacy of others," Zdziarski wrote in a blog post.

"This decision marks the conclusion of what I feel has been a matter of conscience for me over time. Privacy is sacred; our digital lives can reveal so much about us – our interests, our deepest thoughts, and even who we love. I am thrilled to be working with such an exceptional group of people who share a passion to protect that," he added.

Recently, Zdziarski developed Little Flocker, a security application for macOS.
