MITIGATING WEB-BASED VULNERABILITIES: MAN-IN-THEMIDDLE AND SESSION HIJACKING IN FOCUS

Abstract

Modern online interactions and user sessions are vulnerable to cyber risks including session hijacking and Manin-the-Middle attacks. During these assaults, malicious actors can take over online chats or steal private information by taking advantage of weaknesses in session management and identification. Modern intrusion detection systems, private coding techniques, authentication using tokens, and SSL/TLS encryption are some of the ways that businesses mitigate these dangers. Looking at real-life attack scenarios and finding out how to avoid them can help firms strengthen their defenses and keep user data safe, according to this research. Ongoing education and awareness are necessary to reduce exposure and create a safer internet for everyone.
