Facebook Ups Application Security with Roles, Whitelists, and Notifications

Facebook today introduced new security features and a roles system to help developers prevent unauthorized changes to their applications. Developers can set up IP address whitelists for making requests or setting changes to their apps, receive email notifications of changes, and use an access control model to establish which privileges each of their team members has.

The application security announcement follows yesterday’s revamp of user security. As applications can touch tens of millions of users, preventing their control from falling into the wrong hands is essential to making users feel comfortable trying new apps as well as attracting developers to the Platform.
