Broken authentication is a vulnerability that allows attackers to gain access to systems and data without authorization. It can occur when applications or systems do not properly validate user credentials, allowing attackers to exploit weaknesses in the authentication process. Understanding broken authentication is crucial for securing systems and data, and online courses can provide a convenient and effective way to learn about this topic.
