Software security and methods of protection against cyber attacks

This article discusses key aspects of software security and methods for protecting against cyber attacks. The main types of cyberattacks are analyzed, including malware, phishing, social engineering, denial of service (DoS/DDoS) attacks, and exploitation of vulnerabilities. Effective security methods are described, such as intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS), data encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), regular updates and patches, user training, and data backup. Covers current trends and innovations in cybersecurity, including the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), blockchain technologies, cloud technologies and Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). Practical examples of cyber attacks and their consequences are provided, which emphasizes the importance of an integrated approach to ensuring software security.
