“Security method of your mobile app can make or break your business. Find out how AppSealing saves the day for you”
Mobile Apps are Ubiquitous
Mobile apps have become a great business proposition for the purpose of providing core business services to the general consumer. They provide personalized user experience, act as an effective platform to connect directly with customers, and often come with features which seamlessly utilize mobile device features. Apps have emerged as a game changer in building brand reputation of businesses and provide customers with intuitive and friendly customer experience.
Need for Security
Before a brand can even think of bringing its consumers on its mobile app, it must understand the role its developers need to play in ensuring security both for the company and its customers. It must direct the developers to ensure that mobile apps are immune to most known, high-impact security vulnerabilities. Security considerations should be made part and parcel of the app’s design and development process. With maturing of the mobile app ecosystem and customers’ exposure to competition, the security dimension of apps has become way too important to be ignored. Its indispensability can be gauged by the following impact areas:
1. Customer Information
Developers must institute a foolproof way of handling and storing all user information collected by the application in a secure manner. Adequate safeguards should be adopted to prevent personal identifiable information (PII) from being stolen for identity theft and fraud.
2. Financial Security
Increasingly, many enterprise applications are beginning to integrate financial transactions in them, which invariably leads to accessing crucial personal information of users. It becomes imperative that such sensitive information is handled properly, without data leaks and unauthorised access by third parties.
3. Brand Confidence
A company’s reputation and branding depends on how its app protects users’ data, with all security solutions in place to prevent any malware injections or hacking attempts, apart from giving a great user experience. The company should remember that in an open, connected world, there are rivals as well as ethical hackers working overtime just to ensure that a big brand does not slip. Apart from losing crucial user data, the loss can come in the form of both misuse of user information as well as lawsuits from affected parties. While the positive of undertaking security drills is that customers stay loyal and trust the brand, the negative is the loss of customers’ confidence forever.
4. IP as Responsibility
A mobile app is the intellectual property (IP) of a company, and all the code and knowledge that goes into its development is owned by it. However, IP theft is as common an occurrence as is physical theft. The onus of preventing IP theft through provision of creating a tamper-free environment and securing applications and data against exploitation is on the company that owns the brand. The company should understand that it is not just a moral responsibility but well-defined legal onus as well.
5. Revenue Generation
Revenue targets and profit generation derive from a brand’s reputation and customer satisfaction. A secure and robust mobile application can be a big differentiating factor in delivering a superlative customer experience in an already crowded app marketplace.
Limitations of Traditional Security Solutions
In the light of contemporary security challenges, traditional cybersecurity approaches often fall short of providing solutions which are secure enough to protect mobile applications. They limit themselves to securing the network perimeter and depend on firewalls and anti-virus applications. Even if developers adopt secure coding practices from the very beginning, they do not act as a dependable shield against evolving security threats that have to be countered as soon as they show up to prevent any major losses.
In the contemporary age of persistent hacking and phishing attempts, security solutions must be a step ahead to effectively deal with such intrusions. A dynamic solution, thus, must anticipate threats and create a protective shield around apps much in advance. AppSealing aptly fills this void through an effective, comprehensive security solution suite.
