Virtually all companies leverage Internet services for diverse purposes, including the digital storage of data in databases and cloud platforms. Furthermore, the rising demand for software and applications has led to a widespread shift toward computer-based activities within the corporate landscape. However, this digital transformation has exposed the information technology (IT) infrastructures of these organizations to a heightened risk of cyber-attacks, endangering sensitive data. Consequently, organizations must identify and address vulnerabilities within their systems, with a primary focus on scrutinizing customer-facing websites and applications. This work aims to tackle this pressing issue by employing data analysis tools, such as Power BI, to assess vulnerabilities within a client\u2019s application or website. Through a rigorous analysis of data, valuable insights and information will be provided, which are necessary to formulate effective remedial measures against potential attacks. Ultimately, the central goal of this research is to demonstrate that clients can establish a secure environment, shielding their digital assets from potential attackers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bdcc7040176","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,21]],"date-time":"2023-11-21T10:24:13Z","timestamp":1700562253000},"page":"176","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["A New Approach to Data Analysis Using Machine Learning for Cybersecurity"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Shivashankar","family":"Hiremath","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechatronics, Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Udupi-Karkala Rd, Eshwar Nagar, Manipal 576104, Karnataka, India"},{"name":"Survivability Signal Intelligence Research Center, Hanyang University, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 04763, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eeshan","family":"Shetty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechatronics, Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Udupi-Karkala Rd, Eshwar Nagar, Manipal 576104, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9517-8829","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Allam Jaya","family":"Prakash","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Engineering (SCOPE), Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore 632014, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suraj Prakash","family":"Sahoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics Engineering (SENSE), Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore 632014, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3338-3154","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kiran Kumar","family":"Patro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of ECE, Aditya Institute of Technology and Management, K Kotturu, Tekkali 532201, Andhra Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3751-0453","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kandala N.
