Prismetric talks on the need of enhanced security for the Mobile Apps

GANDHINAGAR, India - May 10, 2016 - PRLog -- In this exploding Smartphone and tablet world, mobile devices are fast evolving the way business is performed for most industries out there. Mobile apps provide the millennial-generation customers with immediate access to services and products of businesses 24/7, regardless of their geo-location.

Hi-end security management is the need of the Hour

While today's customers are demanding more innovation in app based services, hackers and cyber-criminals are geared up to take benefit of the app vulnerabilities - the gap between mobile ecosystem and security - to execute data theft and other frauds. And, this is why the need for enhanced security in mobile apps is more pressing than ever before.

Here ensuring security in apps not only refers to payment security but also in other domains that involves app user privacy. App businesses need to ensure privacy, reliability and correct authentication to its users. There are several factors that should be considered while developing a mobile app, including removal of source code vulnerabilities, security management and risk mitigation.

App developers need to define a mechanism that explains how an app will react when a security threat is detected.

For example, an app can generate an alert message or dial a registered number while denying access with invalid credentials.

In a recent interview with U.S. News & World Report, Darren Guccione, CEO and co-founder of Keeper Security, Inc., a globally leading password manager and secure digital vault talked about how businesses can use a combination of a master password and biometric attributes to improve security of their apps.

Today a large number of apps are covering financial transactions, which raises the security risk of users' financial as well as personal data. Factors like mobile device hardware (Operating system) and network connection in addition to the app also matters while defining your own app security strategy.

Combat the app security issues without compromising on user convenience

Mobile app developers can strengthen app security by leveraging 2-factor authentication, data encryption and biometric signing in mobile apps. You can also implement a strong password policy. PIN and password based policy are in vogue to ensure utmost safety in mobile app transactions.

While you are looking out for more effective ways of improving app security, it is also important to ensure that tightening up security (or multiple layers of security) doesn't take a toll on user convenience.
