How to Protect Files in iPhone

iPhone - either it is the next wonder of the world or just a flop? This question has been hotly debated in social as well as in legal circles. People are curious to know how much the files that they keep in their iPhones are secure. No doubt it is the most hyped cell phone in the market with loads of appealing features yet it has some flaws and one of the major drawbacks of iPhone is the absence of security for the files, folders and private stuff that people save in it.

Sometimes, it is just too necessary to hide and protect some information from the prying eyes; and yes of course we have rights to decide what information we want to share and what information we want to keep secret.

Protecting your iPhone files - your music, your video, your pictures, and your PDF documents - seems like an apparent thing that people might want to do. Now the question is how to protect your confidential data in your iPhone from others.

As now we are more dependent on computers and so much of our lives are saved on our operating systems and laptops, we need to make sure that we protect our files and folders and backup confidential and important data just in case something wrong happens. Same approach goes with your iPhone. If you are saving some of your important files in your little cute gadget, you must keep them safe and secure from meddling eyes. There is no second opinion that you must safeguard and protect your files and documents especially if your business relies on them. You cannot simply leave them unprotected and you know why.

After the much research, I could not find any security app that would fulfill my requirements, I was about to give up but then one day I received a newsletter saying a new iPhone app has been launched.
