Web application security, therefore, plays a vital role in ensuring the integrity, confidentiality,
and availability of information transmitted over the internet. It encompasses a range of practices,
technologies, and measures designed to protect web applications and IoT devices from unauthorized
access, exploitation, and manipulation.
