System Integration

System integration vulnerabilities occur when multiple systems or components are combined or interconnected, leading to potential security weaknesses. Some common vulnerabilities due to system integration include:

1. Incompatible Security Controls: When integrating systems with varying security controls, inconsistencies can arise, leaving gaps or vulnerabilities in the overall security posture.
2. Data Leakage: Improperly integrated systems may inadvertently expose sensitive data, allowing unauthorized access or data leakage.
3. Insecure Data Transfers: Inadequate security measures during data transfers between integrated systems can expose data to interception or unauthorized modification.
4. Misconfiguration: Improper configuration during system integration can lead to security misalignments, such as incorrect access controls or weak encryption settings.
5. Complexity: Integrating multiple systems can increase the overall complexity, making it harder to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities or manage security effectively.
