Desarrollo de una web segura

Abstract

[en] In this final degree project, a web application has been developed, analyzed, and implemented using the Vue and Python technologies, with Python being used alongside the Flask framework. The main focus of the web application revolves around cybersecurity. The primary vulnerabilities that can occur in such applications have been identified and studied. The operation of these vulnerabilities and commonly employed strategies to prevent or mitigate their impact has been investigated. The project report provides a detailed explanation of the main attack vectors, presents examples of each of them, and showcases the strategy that has been implemented to counteract them in the developed application. To accomplish this task, the recommendations and guidelines provided by OWASP, a recognized organization in the field of computer security, have been followed. OWASP develops a list of the top 10 most common vulnerabilities and provides guidance on how to address them. Both the project development and the choice of the topic have been carried out with the objective of obtaining a new perspective, tools, and knowledge that can be applied in future projects or work related to software development, due to the importance of cybersecurity in all stages of development, regardless of the specialization or the specific job field, given the current context of an increasingly interconnected and digital world. Data and system protection have become fundamental topics.
