What is vulnerability management? It is the practice of identifying‚ classifying‚ remediating‚ and mitigating vulnerabilities‚ especially in software and firmware (Wheeler‚ 2011). Vulnerability management is a continuous information security risk process that requires management oversight. There are four high level processes that encompass vulnerability management. They are Discovery‚ Reporting‚ Prioritization and Response. Each process and sub processes within it need to be part of a continuous

Unit 2 Assignment 1: Calculate the Window of Vulnerability The WoV covers a timeline from the moment a vulnerability is discovered and identified by the IT people. It also includes the time taken to fix the vulnerability. It is also important to explore the device(s) that were targeted by the attack. In this instance‚ being the SMB server within the LAN.

Chapter 1: Introduction to Seismic Vulnerability Assessment 1. Background Earthquakes and other natural hazards can create disasters of uncontrollable magnitudes when they hit large metropolitan areas. Earthquake risk assessment is used to quantify potential social and economic losses from earthquakes. Risk assessment is an integral part of disaster mitigation. It provides the critical information about on the characteristics of potential disasters in a region and allows planners to identify

The most accurate way to assess vulnerabilities in an IT system is by penetration testing‚ which simulates an actual attack. It can be dangerous to both the targeted organization‚ as well as the penetration team. Since the testers use the same tools as an actual attacker‚ systems and networks could really be brought down during the “attack.” One of the biggest advantages to penetration testing is that it tests not only the security of the infrastructure‚ but the readiness of the response team
