2. Vulnerability Management Vulnerability managementis a key security control that involves the identification, assessment, and remediation of vulnerabilities in cloud environments. Regular vulnerability assessments and the prompt patching of identified weaknesses are essential to protect against exploits and att...
Vulnerability discovery (viavulnerability scanning) Categorization and prioritization Resolution Reassessment and reporting. For this article, we’ll focus on the first phase of the vulnerability assessment and management process — discover — by understanding different types of vulnerabilities that may exist...
Vulnerability Testing The testing, which involves identifying weaknesses in the software, hardware, and network, is known as Vulnerability Testing. In malicious programs, the hacker can take control of the system, if it is vulnerable to such kinds of attacks, viruses, and worms. ...
Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM)provides a detailed approach to all aspects of vulnerability testing and assessment activities.OSSTMMdoes not advocate a specific approach; rather, it provides best practice guidance on how to achieve successful testing activities. ...
Types of vulnerability scanners Vulnerability scanning tools can be found for free or at a very low cost on the internet, however, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Some only probe for specific vulnerabilities or scan certain areas of your network, ignoring your entire infrastructu...
Here are 17 vulnerability assessment tools that enable you to check your systems for severe exploits or flaws. Types of Attack Vectors Attack vectors encompass both technical and non-technical methods to exploit vulnerabilities. Here are the most common types of attack vector strategies: Malware. Mal...
Cybercrime is built around the efficient exploitation of vulnerabilities, and security teams are always at a disadvantage because they must defend all possible entry points, while an attacker only needs to find and exploit one weakness or vulnerability. This asymmetry highly favors attackers. The resul...
Since InfoSec covers many areas, it often involves the implementation of various types of security, including application security, infrastructure security, cryptography, incident response, vulnerability management, and disaster recovery. This guide provides an in-depth look into the field of informatio...
