Complex Nature of Software Security
Software security is a multifaceted challenge that involves a delicate balance between inherent security features and potential vulnerabilities. While software can offer authentication methods, encryption, intrusion prevention, and detection mechanisms, it is also susceptible to errors that can compromise security. These errors include design flaws, programming mistakes, and intentional backdoors.
