Implementing strong <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electronicverificationsystems.com\/Resources\/Blog\/Make-Mobile-Security-Top-Priority-This-Year.aspx\">mobile&#13;<br \/>\nsecurity<\/a> tactics is a difficult task many industries are facing today. Were&#13;<br \/>\nnow in the midst of shifting our focus to protection of mobile devices, not&#13;<br \/>\ndesktop computers, because they are and will remain the platform for the most&#13;<br \/>\ntransactions.<\/p>\n<p>Mobile devices create new challenges to securing Internet&#13;<br \/>\nservices. Although small, touch-screen keyboards make it inconvenient to enter&#13;<br \/>\ncomplex passwords most devices offer the remember password feature. This is&#13;<br \/>\nhelpful, except for the fact that mobile devices are easily lost and stolen on&#13;<br \/>\na regular basis. Two-factor authentication is a security feature intended to&#13;<br \/>\nprotect access to online bank accounts. Cybercriminals are finding more ways to&#13;<br \/>\nmake it less effective and easier to take advantage of. Many banks offer their&#13;<br \/>\ncustomers two-factor authentication, which involves sending an SMS message to&#13;<br \/>\nthe users mobile device with a code thats entered into a web-based form. The&#13;<br \/>\ncode expires in a few minutes and is intended to keep fraudsters out who have&#13;<br \/>\nthe users login credentials.<\/p>\n<p>Most organizations believe that its not safe to rely on&#13;<br \/>\nSMS-based two-factor authentication anymore. Financial institutions have been&#13;<br \/>\nslow to keep up and its hurt them in the long run. As mobile banking continues&#13;<br \/>\nto grow, more applications have security weaknesses. Applications should be&#13;<br \/>\nrevised to include stronger browsers, identification and authentication and&#13;<br \/>\neven biometrics to ensure users are who they say they are.
