Cyber Security Issues: Web Attack Investigation

Abstract

In these recent days, remote work will likely be the biggest cyber security challenge. Remote employment will still be common because of the numerous COVID-19 requirements. After businesses encouraged remote work owing to pandemic concerns, malicious actors now have an easier time finding insecure or incorrectly configured systems that connect to the internet. Web assaults are actions taken against websites and web-based applications with the intent to steal sensitive data, interrupt web service systems, or seize the targeted web systems. Web attacks are a growingly significant subject in digital forensics and information security. It has been noted that invaders are gaining the capacity to get around safety measures and initiate several complex attacks. One of the biggest obstacles is effectively responding to new and unidentified threats, despite several attempts to handle these attacks using a variety of technologies. The objective of this paper is to review the research on web attacks focusing primarily on attack detection methods on various areas of study. The goal is to do explore on web attack investigation, identification methods focusing on different areas such as vulnerabilities, prevention, detection technologies and protection. This paper also examines several related research problems and potential future paths for online assault detection that could aid in more precise research development.
