exploitation prevention

Exploitation prevention refers to strategies and measures used to protect computer systems and networks from being taken advantage of by cybercriminals. This involves identifying and fixing vulnerabilities—weak spots in software or hardware—that attackers might exploit to gain unauthorized access, steal data, or cause damage. It also includes implementing security tools like firewalls, encryption, and monitoring systems, as well as following best practices such as regular software updates and strong password use. The goal is to reduce the risk of exploitation and ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of information and systems.
