what is screen scraping and what are the security concerns of screen scraping?
Screen scraping is a process that involves copying information from one display to another for various purposes. Through this mechanism, it provides a virtual desktop experience to remote desktop users. In screen scraping, the target application displays the information on the screen and presents it to the remote user for technical assistance or some other maintenance issues. However, during the screen-displaying task, there may be a risk of unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information and therefore security professionals should take proactive measures to safeguard their data during the transmission process through security controls such as encryption, authentication and access control measures.
In other words, screen scraping is an automated technology that enables individuals to interact with a user interface and thereby transfer information.
