Encapsulation hides important and classified data from accidental manipulation by members of the same program. Note that the encapsulated data of a class can be accessible outside the class only when the data is USED in the function of the class. However, a LIMITED number of operations can be performed on encapsulated data by executing the functions or methods of the class. An encapsulation prevents the internal error to OCCUR and not the explicit attacks or intentional attacks and therefore cannot be called as a SECURITY device.
