HTTP Method

An HTTP method is a verb used in the HTTP protocol to indicate the desired action to be performed on a specified resource. Common HTTP methods include GET (retrieve data), POST (submit data), PUT (update data), DELETE (remove data), and several others. HTTP methods are crucial to cybersecurity because they define the types of actions that can be taken on web resources. If not properly managed or restricted, malicious actors can exploit these methods to retrieve, modify, or delete data without authorization, leading to data breaches, data loss, or other cyber threats.
