cyber security is any action or application taken to ensure application data is not exposed to cybercriminals or to prevent exploitation of applications in any way.
The success of any business crucially depends upon the security of its application. We have seen this repeatedly that the websites of even the largest organizations in the globe could have vulnerabilities.
Cyber Security Protects your Application
There are several attacks/vulnerabilities when it comes to applications. We list some of these below.
DDoS attacks: These attacks can slow or crash your application entirely, making it inaccessible to visitors.
Malware: Short for “malicious software,” malware is a very common threat used to steal sensitive customer data, distribute spam, allow cybercriminals to access your application, and more.
Blacklisting: Your application may be removed from search engine results and flagged with a warning that turns visitors away if search engines find malware.
Vulnerability exploits: Cybercriminals can access a site and data stored on it by exploiting weak areas in a site, like an outdated plugin.
Defacement: This attack replaces your application’s content with a cybercriminal’s malicious content.
