ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Application posture

Ok kiddo, let's start with what "posture" means. You know how you need to sit up straight at the dinner table or in school? That's having good posture. It means you're sitting or standing in a way that's good for your body.

Now, let's talk about "application posture." This has to do with how software (like games, websites, or apps) is designed to keep your information safe.

Just like having good posture means you're taking care of your body, having good application posture means the software is taking care of your information.

When software has good posture, it:

- Makes sure your information is kept safe and secure.
- Doesn't share your information with other people or companies without your permission.
- Doesn't have any "holes" where hackers or bad guys can get your information.

So, just like you need to sit up straight to take care of your body, software needs to have good posture to take care of your information.
