In our continuing series on security best practices, we’ve covered many ways to secure your documents using WPS Office, from encryption to using password trackers and PDFs for protecting sensitive data. But no discussion of security best practices is complete without considering how mobile transactions can be guaranteed as secure—so let’s turn our attention now to securing your financial information and third-party cloud data when you make smartphone purchases.
Developing technologies, ecommerce, and more recently mobile ecommerce (or mcommerce) have provided greater ease of—and access to—transaction. But with this more convenient usage that allows us to do business with our smartphones comes added worries about security. Wired recently reported that security concerns are the number-one obstacle to wider adoption of mobile payments. These fears are not unfounded. IBM reported that hackers do have ways to access consumer data if the security of a vendor’s mobile payment product is not robust enough, adding that “no system is foolproof.”
Because of these security concerns, while over half (52 percent) of people in North America have awareness of the option for mobile payment, only 18 percent use their smartphone to make purchases, according to Accenture.

If you’re ready to start tapping into the many benefits of mobile payment technology, it’s important to know how to secure your personal data. While most companies that allow mobile payments take steps to encrypt or authenticate user credentials, understanding ways to protect your mobile purchases can make a big difference in ensuring a safe shopping experience.
