Web‑based systems are accessible from anywhere, making them vulnerable to attacks from malicious users. Security and trust are therefore essential.
Why is trust especially important for web‑based systems?
Correct Answer
They are exposed to malicious users and remote attacks.
Explanation
Because web systems are publicly accessible, they must protect data, authenticate users, and defend against cyberattacks to maintain trust.
