In case you havent noticed, cell phones are no longer just
\nfor talking and texting. Were living in a society that willingly wants to
\ncarry all of their information on one device rather than carrying multiple
\nitems like credit cards, coupons and loyalty cards.<\/p>\n

Mobile commerce
\ntechnology is growing- fast<\/strong><\/p>\n

As mobile commerce technology continues to be rolled out to
\nconsumers for convenience and integration more and more of them are taking
\nadvantage of the features on their smartphones. So what about when an account
\ncomes up short on money and the user wasnt the one who spent it? Most
\nconsumers see this integration as convenient and easy-to-use but generally
\nforget about the security aspect. The problem is that consumers are more than
\nwilling to share their confidential financial information in order to use these
\nfeatures for mobile transactions.<\/p>\n

Mobile-optimized web
\npage security<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Whether you are creating a mobile app to encompass these
\nfeatures or a mobile-optimized web page security and fraud prevention<\/a>
\nneed to be top priority. These apps generally have the ability to access
\nconsumer information without that consumers knowledge. Information such as a
\nphone number, device ID and location are easily captured from apps and HTML5
\nsites. This information can be of use when trying to acquire new customers,
\nincrease loyalty and learn about customer buying habits, so long as its
\nprotected. You must gain consumer trust and confidence while they are connected
\nto you or your app. In order to maintain consumer confidence in this
\nenvironment, it is the responsibility of the merchant to keep consumer
\ninformation safe and secure.<\/p>\n

Mobile payment
\nsecurity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mobile
\npayments<\/a> and transactions provide consumers flexibility, convenience and
\nvalue while offering merchants the ability to reach their customers, learn more
\nabout them and specifically measure the effectiveness of mobile marketing
\nprograms.<\/p>\n

When building mobile technology that has the ability to capture
\nand store personally identifiable information, companies should take into
\nconsideration how the security of PII will be maintained by weighing the
\nadvantages and disadvantages of each option. In doing this, they will not only
\nprotect themselves from a potential breach, but also protect their customers,
\nthus avoiding a potential public relations challenge and affecting customer
\nloyalty and commitment. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
