12. Security Gaps

Security gaps in application integration can expose systems to vulnerabilities, leading to data breaches or unauthorized access. Here’s how to address them effectively:

1. Identify Weak Points – Conduct security audits to detect gaps in authentication, encryption, and access controls.

2. Secure API Integrations – Ensure APIs use strong authentication methods like OAuth and implement rate limiting to prevent abuse.

3. Encrypt Data Transfers – Use end-to-end encryption to protect sensitive data during transmission.

4. Monitor & Log Security Events – Set up real-time monitoring and logging to detect suspicious activities early.

5. Patch & Update Regularly – Keep all integrated systems updated to prevent exploitation of known vulnerabilities.
