In this generation of smart phones, mobile
apps have become an integral part of our lives. We have become so much
dependent on these apps that it would be hard to imagine a life without these
facilities. However, some people feel concerned about the safety and security
of their data while using these apps. Experts from Gleam Technologies say that
with a bit of carefulness you can ensure the safety of your mobile apps. Read
on to know more:
·
Source Code Encryption
Mobile malware frequently taps bugs and susceptibilities
within the design and source code of the mobile application. Latest reports
suggest that malicious code contaminates more than 12 million mobile devices at
any given time, and the most common way attackers do it is by repackaging
popular apps into "rogue apps" and publishing the same. This is the
reason why you need to encrypt you source code.
·
Make Provisions for Data
Security
When a mobile application accesses some confidential
data, then unstructured information generally gets stored within the device
storage. Mobile data encryption can be effectively used to secure the data in a
sandbox, and can this can be done by using SQLite Database Encryption Modules
or by offering file-level encryption across multiple Operating systems.
·
Secure the Data-in-transit
Important information needs to be sheltered in order to
ensure zero privacy leaks and data theft. Developers can make sure that user
data remains thoroughly protected by employing support for VPN or SSL tunnels,
thereby protecting data from being leaked.
·
Avoid Unintentional Data
Leakage
When a user interacts with your app, they agree to
certain permissions, which allow brands and businesses, and even you to glean
crucial personal customer information. By properly implementing advertising and
using secure analytics providers, you can ensure that your user data never gets
unintentionally leaked to hackers or malicious business vendors.
