Cybersecurity Measures for Application: Protecting against Vulnerabilities

Abstract

Applications need to be protected from evolving threats including malware, phishing, and data breaches by applying the cyber essentials. This study is based on secondary research for analyzing the common vulnerabilities, security measures, regulatory frameworks and emerging technologies. According to the findings, application security is better if encryption is used, if multiple factors of authentication are supported and if the application complies with standards like GDPR and ISO 27001. It also shows the effectiveness of emerging solutions, including artificial intelligence, and zero-trust security models. For long-term protection, you need to practice secure coding and proactive threat detection. Considering the ever-increasing rate of advancement in cyber threats, it becomes increasingly important to continue research and innovation of more resilient security strategies for app development.
