Important Considerations in Designing for a Mobile Application


By Manoj Mirchandani

If you are planning on developing an app for enterprising operations, here is a word of advice, do not jump into it without proper considerations of essential issues. Calm down, take a deep breath and become accustomed to the different ways people have employed mobility, then start from there.

Of course, mobility is becoming a favorite thing, which is equally essential all over the world, but that does not mean people will download an app that comes out, even if the stories around it sound particularly appealing. People only download apps that will be of use to them on their phones. It includes enterprise apps. If your app becomes complex than it is worth, users will discard it.

As the whole world has begun to take apps more seriously than before, it is crucial for businesses to plan for apps with thoroughness and clarity. Slight ignorance can cause irreparable damage. For enterprises, such losses will undoubtedly cost them a lot. However, we will list out some critical considerations enterprises need to bear before they start to build a mobile enterprise app. The dependence on built-in security features of a platform or app development technology should be cut out, so the developers can find more reliable backups. App security is crucial, if not the most critical aspects of the enterprise business. Businesses, therefore, ought to always be on the matter and find out whether developers are giving it the attention it deserves. Don't ever think that because your app is an iOS app, it will run on the safest mobile platforms. It is because there have been incidents where the supposedly secure iOS too encountered cyber-attacks.

There is an excellent need to take additional measures bordering on security and also to make sure that your developers are not sitting back on it, but are top of the security situation.

Build a multi-level authentication

If you have cyber attackers after your app, using a password-based authentication will do very little to save it from these criminals. There is a great need for a multi-level authentication, as this provides foolproof security. It will be helpful and harder to hack into when not only the password holds the key. Multiple level authentication systems involve the provision of the code sent to users on their mobile numbers. Moreover, if the password gets leaked, the cybercriminals will still have to provide the pin sent to you. Only then will security be granted. At last, they will stop their hard work in unlocking your phone.

Preventing unsafe data transmission

All businesses regard their data as being as valuable as their capital. Hence, they go to great lengths just to provide it with the highest levels of security. Most often, this data is the future of these companies. In apps, although encryption assures protection, 33% of the IT companies, unfortunately, fail to make use of encryption methods to provide the much-needed security for their apps. It is essential that you take the safety of the app very seriously. Apart from this, your development team should implement the best security method so that unsafe data transmission will be a thing of the past.

Limit data caching vulnerabilities

It is easy for hackers to access cache data. Therefore, to avoid annoying security breaches which can be caused by cache data, you should instruct your developers to reduce the caching and prevent other related vulnerabilities caused by this. One particularly important solution is to add password access to the app. Another solution involves programming the app in such a way that it erases all cached data on rebooting the application.
