Vulnerability refers to the inability (of a system or a unit) to withstand the effects of a hostile environment. A window of vulnerability (WOV) is a time frame within which defensive measures are diminished, compromised or lacking.The understanding of social and environmental vulnerability, as a...
In this chapter we examine the conceptualization of vulnerability in particular health care situations and consider how useful it is in a regulatory context. Vulnerability, and potential exploitation, are often used as justifications for the imposition of legal restrictions to protect the rights of thos...
A window of vulnerability (WOV) is a time frame within which defensive measures are diminished, compromised or lacking.The understanding of social and environmental vulnerability, as a methodological approach, involves the analysis of the risks and assets of disadvantaged groups, such as the elderly....

What Is a Vulnerability Assessment? A vulnerability assessment is a systematic review of an IT system that discovers, classifies, and prioritizes security flaws. This type of analysis has three goals: Evaluate the system for exploitable flaws. ...

For instance, “air gapping” a server—disconnecting it from external networks—lowers the Attack Vector score since remote exploitation is no longer possible. By considering both Temporal and Environmental Metrics, organizations can achieve a more tailored and accurate assessment of a vulnerability’s...
Inclusion and analysis of environmental income are important in diagnosing the extent of poverty, for understanding its causes, and in identifying policies for its alleviation. The concept of environmental income is, however, poorly developed. Different studies use different measures, while underlying ...
A vulnerability, in information technology (IT), is a flaw in code or design that creates a potential point of security compromise for an endpoint or network. Vulnerabilities create possible attack vectors, through which an intruder could run code or acc
Vulnerability assessment refers to the process of identifying risks and vulnerabilities in computer networks, systems, hardware, applications, and other…
