Malyavin Maxim Yurievich

With the rapid growth in the number of web applications and integration into key professional and everyday areas of human activity, ensuring their security is becoming a priority. Modern threats such as SQL injection, cross-site script-ing, denial of service attacks and zero-day vulnerability exploitation pose seri-ous risks to private users and organizations. The purpose of this article is to analyze current cyber threats, identify their features and consider an integrated approach to the use of protection methods. The study summarizes modern at-tack prevention strategies, including the use of web firewalls, authentication and authorization mechanisms, anomaly monitoring, and the use of machine learning technologies to identify threats. The author confirms the necessity and importance of an integrated (combined) approach to ensure multi-level protec-tion of modern web applications. The results of the work will allow us to form a holistic view of the necessary measures to ensure the security of web applica-tions. The presented materials can be useful to cybersecurity specialists, soft-ware developers, and web system administrators, as well as used in the future to develop effective protection strategies.
