. It is important because it makes sure you are logging into the service you originally registered for with this security that is checked and verified to be matched with a specific user. It provides a higher level of data protection.
During this process, You can generate, use, rotate, and destroy AES256 encryption keys. This service is integrated with cloud audit logging and IAM so you can effectively manage permissions on individual keys and monitor how these keys are used and monitored.
This management is performed by the hierarchical organization and lets you easily manage common aspects of your resources such as access control and configuration setting at the same place.
It is automated that detects four most common vulnerabilities like cross-site scripting (XSS), Flash injection, insecure libraries and mixed content with lowest possible false positive rates.
