Portal Security

Definitions

1. The security of a web portal or user-access interface, including authentication, authorization, session handling, input validation, and exposure of sensitive data or functionality. Portal security is especially important for customer, vendor, and admin portals that aggregate high-value workflows in one place.

   In plain English: Security for a web portal that users log into to access services or data.
