With the increased use of&#13;<br \/>\nmobile devices on the rise, that means consumers are putting their personal&#13;<br \/>\ninformation at an increased risk as well. Users are eager to use their devices&#13;<br \/>\nfor everyday use and especially during the holiday shopping season. This Cyber&#13;<br \/>\nMonday, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobilecommercedaily.com\/paypal-mobile-payment-volume-increases-___-on-cyber-monday\">PayPal<\/a>&#13;<br \/>\ntripled their mobile payment volume from last year. Other retail giants like&#13;<br \/>\nPriceGrabber saw a significant change in traffic and sales due to mobile&#13;<br \/>\ntechnology. They had a 3,230% increase of smartphone traffic and a 775%&#13;<br \/>\nincrease of traffic coming from tablets. There is no doubting that mobile&#13;<br \/>\ntechnology is changing how consumers interact with businesses and vice versa.<\/p>\n<p>With mobile being a major aspect of business now, it has&#13;<br \/>\nchanged the security landscape as well. Some experts have even described the&#13;<br \/>\nconsumer data scope as a triangular relationship among cloud computing, mobile&#13;<br \/>\ndevices, and security. With more mobile data than ever, that puts the consumer&#13;<br \/>\nand businesses reputations right in the middle of that triangle. With more&#13;<br \/>\nmobile devices in use and more applications and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electronicverificationsystems.com\/Resources\/Blog\/Mobile-Payment-Guidelines--Implement-or-Revise-Mobile-Fraud-Solutions.aspx\">mobile&#13;<br \/>\npayment<\/a> platforms available, its to no wonder than the security landscape&#13;<br \/>\nhas changed. One of the five mobile security trends outlined by govtech.com is&#13;<br \/>\nthat mobile authentication is becoming more complex. While users value&#13;<br \/>\nsecurity, they also (sometimes more) value convenience. Many consumers prefer a&#13;<br \/>\nsingle-sign on option that offers little to no real verification that the user&#13;<br \/>\nis who they claim to be. More companies and enterprises are pushing for more&#13;<br \/>\nin-depth authentication to secure their name and consumers.<\/p>\n<p>As authentication becomes more mainstream, it will also&#13;<br \/>\nbecome more generic. As EVS touched on in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electronicverificationsystems.com\/Resources\/Blog\/Holiday-Threats---Social-Media-and-Mobile-Risks.aspx\">recent&#13;<br \/>\nblog<\/a>, many authentication measures are becoming obsolete as social media&#13;<br \/>\nhas opened the door to the answers of many standard questions&#13;<br \/>\n(i.e. What is your pets name? What is the name of your high school?). Ensure&#13;<br \/>\nyour consumers and business are secure by implementing more complex&#13;<br \/>\nauthentication measures that will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electronicverificationsystems.com\/solutions\/\">prevent fraud<\/a>&#13;<br \/>\nin smarter, not harder, way.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>[Contributed by EVS Marketing]<\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mobile trends have suggested that at least 50 percent of users will access the Internet via a mobile device by the end of the year.
