Software Vulnerabilities

Blog-Software-Vulnerabilities11-24-2021

Software vulnerability allows online attackers to gain control of a system due to a defect in the software that originated from the design or a flaw in the coding. This is a large threat to those online because important information can be stolen and becomes vulnerable.

When your electronic devices are connected to unsecured Wi-Fi networks, your software security can easily be compromised. The most common types of software vulnerabilities include missing data encryption, buffer overflow, missing authorization verification, unrestricted upload of dangerous file types, as well as web security vulnerabilities that enables the execution of unauthorized operating system command, AKA OS Command Injection. Major errors in your computer software can lead to much larger threats that may include phishing, malware, spam, and botnets.

It is important that you are protected from these software threats in order to protect your information online. Users can help prevent software vulnerabilities by staying on secured Wi-Fi networks, checking your bandwidth usage as well as applying web bandwidth checks, filtering your Internet activity, and using software to tell you where the risks may be present online.

There are a variety of different vulnerability scanning programs which can test and protect your devices from being compromised, therefore it is smart to protect your devices from these software glitches and weaknesses in order for your precious information not to be exploited.
