What is meant by security when performing internet requests?

Security when performing internet requests involves protecting data and preventing attacks at the transmission and processing levels. This includes:

• Using HTTPS to encrypt data between the client and server.
• Checking and validating incoming data to prevent SQL injections, XSS, and other vulnerabilities.
• Authenticating and authorizing users to restrict access to resources.
• Handling errors without revealing internal information.
• Protecting against CSRF attacks (cross-site request forgery).

In testing, it is important to verify that these measures are implemented and functioning correctly.
