Examples of when to use session security

Refer to the following examples as situations where you might want to use session security:

Allowing customers to order your products over the Internet. In this situation, you want to make sure the information customers give you, such as a credit-card number, is encrypted so that it cannot be stolen. You also want to make sure information you give to customers is protected.
Giving your suppliers or business partners access to information on your host computers. You do not want anyone else to be able to access this data.
Allowing your staff to have access to your host-computer information from remote sites or when they are traveling.
Giving doctors access to patient records from wherever they are and making sure that unauthorized people cannot access these records.
