Web application security refers to the practice of securing web-based applications from cyber threats and vulnerabilities. With the increasing reliance on web-based applications for business and personal use, ensuring the security of these applications has become essential. Web application security involves identifying potential security risks, implementing security measures such as firewalls, encryption, and access controls, and regularly testing and monitoring the applications for vulnerabilities. Failure to secure web applications can result in data breaches, loss of sensitive information, financial losses, and damage to a company’s reputation.
