What methods can be used to prevent or mitigate the consequences of network threats and attacks?

The following methods are used in iOS development to prevent and mitigate the consequences of network threats and attacks:

• Using secure data transmission protocols (e.g., HTTPS with TLS).
• Implementing user authentication and authorization.
• Encrypting sensitive data both on the device and during transmission.
• Regularly updating applications and libraries to fix vulnerabilities.
• Utilizing built-in iOS security mechanisms, such as Keychain for storing secrets.

For example, to protect API requests, URLSession with certificate pinning can be used to prevent "man-in-the-middle" attacks.
