Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and switch to the 360° assessment when needed.
Theoretical construct: explains a term, principle, or mental model.
What you need to understand to reason about a domain.
Web security protects web applications, data, and users from unauthorized access, manipulation, and abuse.
Web security grew from recurring attacks against networked applications and the need to establish trust on the web through technology. Since 2003, OWASP has collected practical risks and countermeasures; MDN translates security fundamentals into web development guidance.
Secure every boundary between browser, application, identity, and data. Validate input, limit privileges, and treat external data as potentially hostile.
Controls reduce the attack surface and limit the impact of mistakes.
Authentication, authorization, and safe processing work together.
Security is embedded in architecture, code, operations, and testing.
Web security preserves confidentiality, integrity, and availability of digital services.
