Security vulnerabilites and controls

Many security vulnerabilities threaten the integrity and confidentiality of data. Cross-site scripting allows hackers to inject code into user-input fields, granting unauthorized access.

Security vulnerabilites and controls

Vulnerabilities

Diminished data integrity
If there is dimished data integrity there means there is a lack of accuracy, authenicity, correctness, reasonableness, relveance and timeliness.
Third-party software
Software not made by the company that made the operating system
SQL injections
An SQL injection is similar to cross-site scripting but they are using SQL to gain access to information
cross-stire scripting
Cross-site scripting is when a hacker injects code into a space for user-input making the website run it and give access to the hacker to whatever they want
Social Engineering
This is when a malicious actor pretends that they are someone else or a company to gain access or get money from the victims
Man-in-the-middle attacks
A man-in-the-middle attack is an attack that involves a fake wifi network that gives access to the data that goes in and out of the network.
Data breaches
A data breach is when a companies private data has been taken maliciously by hackers

Controls

Penertration Testing
To have either a third-party or yourself check for any vulnerablilities within the solution
Software auditing
To check the softwares code for any possible back doors or malware especially if the code is from the internet
Software updates
To fix any bugs or weaknesses within the application that hackers could take advantage of
Encryption
Encryption is to make readable data not readable for the hacker with specific ways to encrypt such as symmetrical encryption and hash encryption
User authentication
User authentication is when a solution confirms that the person is the person that they claim to be through usernames and passwords or biometrics
Version control
Version control is to be able to
