application risk assessment
**Application Risk Assessment** is the process of identifying, analyzing, and mitigating security vulnerabilities and operational risks within software applications. It evaluates threats such as **unauthorized access, data leakage, insecure APIs, and code flaws** that could compromise application integrity, confidentiality, or availability. The assessment involves reviewing application architecture, authentication methods, data flow, and integration points. Tools and methodologies like **OWASP Top 10**, **threat modeling**, and **static/dynamic analysis** are commonly used. By conducting regular risk assessments, organizations can prioritize remediation efforts, reduce exposure to cyber threats, and ensure their applications meet **compliance requirements** and align with industry security best practices.
