Application threats and countermeasures.

There are various application threats that users and app developers should understand and manage.
Some of the common ones include brute force attacks, injection attacks, and malware. Brute Force
Attacks. Brute force attacks are techniques hackers use to guess the passwords used to secure important
applications.

A countermeasure is an action, process, device, or system that can prevent, or mitigate the effects of,
threats to a computer, server or network. In this context, a threat is a potential or actual adverse event
that may be malicious or incidental, and that can compromise the assets of an enterprise or the integrity
of a computer or network.

Authentication

Authentication is used by a server when the server needs to know exactly who is accessing their
information or site. Authentication is used by a client when the client needs to know that the server is
system it claims to be. In authentication, the user or computer has to prove its identity to the server or
client.

Authorization

Authorization is a security mechanism used to determine user/client privileges or access levels related
to system resources, including computer programs, files, services, data and application features.
Authorization is normally preceded by authentication for user identity verification.

Process used for remote administration security.

Secure Remote Access is a combination of security processes or solutions that are designed to prevent
unauthorized access to an organization’s digital assets and prevent the loss of sensitive data. Secure
remote access can encompass a number of methodologies such as VPN, multifactor authentication, and
endpoint protection, amongst others.

Embedded application security.

Embedded systems security is a cybersecurity field focused on preventing malicious access to and use of
embedded systems. Embedded systems security provides mechanisms to protect a system from all
types of malicious behavior.
Security Objectives

Security Objectives are the targets the customer establishes for their security program. Without security
objectives, they do not know what they are trying to accomplish for security and therefore will not reach
any goals.

Application Overview

Applications are the core of Imaging and Process Management. Consider an application as a type of
management container for documents. An application defines a metadata set, storage information, and
BPEL process configuration for all documents within it.

Decompose Application

One strategy for creating a microservice architecture is to decompose by business capability. A business
capability is a concept from business architecture modeling. A business capability is something that a
business does in order to generate value. The set of capabilities for a given business depend on the type
of business.

Threats

advertising for a deal that seems too good to be true, be sure you have an internet security solution in
place and click with caution.

Vulnerabilities

A vulnerability is a hole or a weakness in the application, which can be a design flaw or an

implementation bug, that allows an attacker to cause harm to the stakeholders of an application.
Stakeholders include the application owner, application users, and other entities that rely on the
application.
