The cost of digital vulnerabilities is staggering. In 2023 alone, cybercrime is estimated to cause $6 trillion in global damages, a figure expected to balloon to $10.5 trillion by 2025. Every minute, 117 new records are exposed in data breaches, with the average cost of a breach topping $4 million. Closer to home, 46% of all cyberattacks target businesses with fewer than 1,000 employees, illustrating the widespread reach of the threat.

Session management is the process of handling interactions between a user and a web application. To understand its importance, consider that HTTP, the protocol underlying the web, is stateless. This means each request from a user is treated independently, and the server has no inherent way to remember or track a user's actions across multiple requests. Session management addresses this by creating a session—a series of related user interactions within a specific timeframe. By managing sessions effectively, web applications can maintain user state, personalize experiences, and enhance security. In this article, we'll delve into the complexities of session management, explore potential threats, and provide best practices to safeguard your web application.
