Cyber Vulnerability

Cyber vulnerability refers to a weakness or flaw in a computer system, network, or software that can be exploited by cyber attackers to gain unauthorized access, steal data, disrupt services, or cause damage. These vulnerabilities can arise from various sources, including software bugs, misconfigurations, unpatched systems, and insufficient security controls. Identifying and mitigating cyber vulnerabilities is essential for maintaining the security and integrity of information systems, as they can lead to significant risks for individuals and organizations, including data breaches, financial loss, and reputational damage. Cyber vulnerability assessment involves scanning and testing systems to find these weaknesses, which can then be addressed through updates, patches, or improved security practices.
