A vulnerability assessment is the process of identifying and classifying any security holes in your network or communication system
The key focus of a vulnerability analysis:
Define and classify network and/or system resources
Identify potential threats to these resources
Develop a strategy to tackle the most serious threats
Define and implement ways to minimize
the consequences of these threats becoming more serious
Networks are typically
plagued by one or
all of three primary
vulnerabilities or
weaknesses:
