"Vulnerabilities in Access Control | Learn with Fun 🚀"

Course Description:

Access control is a critical aspect of modern information security, determining who is authorized to access sensitive data, systems, and facilities. The OWASP Top 10 provides rankings of—and remediation guidance for—the top 10 most critical web application security risks. Leveraging the extensive knowledge and experience of the OWASP's open community contributors, the report is based on a consensus among security experts from around the globe.

What is Access Control?

Access control is a security technique that regulates who or what can view or use resources in a computing environment. It is a fundamental concept in security that minimizes risk to the business or organization. There are two types of access control: physical and logical. Physical access control limits access to campuses, buildings, rooms, and physical IT assets, while logical access control restricts connections to computer networks, system files, and data.
