Data Security
What is Data Security?
Data security is the practice of protecting digital information from unauthorized access, modification, loss, disclosure, or misuse. In mobile applications, it can involve authentication, authorization, secure data storage, access controls, and other measures designed to protect user and business data.
Why it matters
Mobile apps can process information such as user accounts, contact details, bookings, payments, and other business data. Appropriate security measures help control who can access this information and reduce the risk of unauthorized use or exposure.
Example
A mobile app requires users to authenticate before accessing information associated with their accounts. Authorization rules determine which data and functionality each user is allowed to access.
