Hundreds of apps being thrown in the market on daily bases but people will only download apps which they find useful for them. Same thumb rule is applied on enterprise application users. Businesses all over the world plan mobile applications with the best possible thoughtfulness. For a business, ignorance can cost a lot in the long run. Let us give an advice to all enterprise. Here are four essential considerations every enterprise needs to pay attention while going for mobile application development.

Never Completely Rely on Built-in Security Features

Every business must always keep tabs on developers whether they are giving attention to application security as it is the most important aspect of any enterprise application. It could be a mistake to stay assured that your iOS application will run on safest mobile platforms. iOS users have reported many incidents of cyber attacks. You have to make sure that developers are taking additional security measures to ensure app security.

Multi-level Authentication

My application is secure! I have password protection. If a hacker is behind your application, only password protection is not enough. In order to ensure foolproof security, you must have a multi-level authentication system. For example, a multi-level authentication system will send a message to user’s mobile containing a code. Then user needs to provide that code. This way even if password is compromised, access will only be granted when the code is provided.

Safe Data Transmission

Every business values its data as much as its capital. They do everything under power to provide it the highest level of security. According to a survey 33% of IT companies ignore to use encryption methods to secure mobile apps. A business must take app security seriously and instruct its developers to implement encryption methods to ensure safe data transmission.

Minimizing Data Cashing

Cache data to hacker is like honey to fly. In order to avoid security breach, instruct your developers to minimize and limit the data caching and vulnerabilities related to it. Program the application in a way that it erases all cached data on every mobile restart.
