Key Security Factors to Consider Before Investing
Currently, the number of investors and public interest in stock investment continues to increase. However, security factors must be considered before choosing a stock investment platform or application.
This is because cyberattacks and digital threats are relentless and can occur at any time, affecting anyone.
As of the end of May 2cap, 2026, data from the Indonesian Central Securities Depository (KSEI) shows that the number of stock investors in the capital market has reached 9.73 million, with almost 80% dominated by young investors under the age of 40. This figure has risen significantly compared to the end of 2023, which had 5.2 million investors, and the end of 2024, which had 6.3 million investors.
In response to this, Indonesia’s leading investment application, Stockbit, provides multi-layered security features to allow the public to invest with peace of mind. Stockbit consistently enhances its multi-layered security systems to meet these needs. Stockbit has implemented a 3-Factor Authentication (3FA) system, which includes Face Recognition, Trusted Device, and Freeze Account.
Stockbit’s Face Recognition technology is provided as an additional security layer to ensure that only the account owner can access and perform transactions within their trading account. Users will receive notifications if an illegal sign-in occurs, similar to the security experience when using Gmail or Apple ID applications.
With the Trusted Device feature, Stockbit’s system automatically rejects every login attempt from an unknown device. Furthermore, the Multiple Verification system ensures that every important activity in the account undergoes an additional verification process, thereby minimising the risk of misuse by irresponsible parties. Meanwhile, the Freeze Account feature allows investors to temporarily lock or freeze their accounts if unusual activity is detected or suspected.
“The 3-Factor Authentication system is designed to provide maximum protection against user account access through three strict verification layers. Additionally, Stockbit also has a Cybersecurity team on standby 24/7,” explained William, Head of PR & Corporate Communication at Stockbit, in a statement written on Sunday (28/6/2026).
William stated that, in addition to prioritising security in accessing investment accounts, Stockbit continues to innovate by providing real-time analysis tools and data in Indonesia. This allows investors to monitor market movements quickly and make decisions based on accurate data.
“The good news is, Stockbit is designed for various levels of investors, including both experienced and beginner investors who wish to invest professionally, whether they conduct daily transactions or invest for the long term. Stockbit is designed for investors who require security, speed, precision, and depth of information in every decision-making process,” he added.
This feature helps summarise issuer disclosures into more concise, fast, and sharp analytical points. Through AI Reports, users can understand important information more efficiently, while also gaining insights that assist in making investment decisions more quickly and purposefully.
“We have served and understood the needs of millions of investors in Indonesia. Investors invest intelligently by not only focusing on the ease of application use but also by ensuring there is a strong and trusted security system. We thank the public for their trust in Stockbit all this time,” said William.
