Encryption 101 - Keeping your data safe
The 28th of January 2023 marks ‘Data Privacy Day’, a day designed to raise awareness, promote privacy and data protection best practices. Data protection is something that we take incredibly seriously at Xero.
With so many of you integrating directly to Xero user's data via our open APIs, we took some time out to catch up with Regan Ashworth, our API Governance senior manager, to share some encryption best practices with you to keep our mutual user's data as safe as possible.
And keep watching to the end of this video, where Ben Glazier, one of our Xero Developer Evangelists, will share 4 encryption steps that you can implement today.
For more information on our security requirements when connecting to the Xero API, please take a look at our API Security Standards - https://developer.xero.com/partner/se...
