Abstract:

It has been observed that there is an increase in cyber-attacks in today's world. This attack causes a lot of losses to companies and on a personal level. Several measures need to be taken care of by the user as well while developing the app or website. The practice of defending programs, systems, and networks from online threats is known as cyber security. These assaults typically aim to gain access to, alter, or destroy sensitive data, demand money from users, or obstruct regular business operations. Attacks can take many different forms. Only during the software development process, the method for preventing cyberattacks can be taken into consideration. The present study aims to focus on gathering cyber-attack-related information from software developers who are there in this domain for a long. The information gathered was related to cyber-attacks that the developers were aware of. Special techniques are needed to be considered to avoid cyber-attacks while developing any application or website. The survey focuses on gathering information about the techniques used to avoid cyberattacks, the possibility of prevention of attacks after the implementation of these techniques, the stage of the software development lifecycle in which implementation of such techniques is taken care of, and the effect of implementing these techniques on the performance of the System
