However, vulnerability and risk are not the same thing, which can lead to confusion. Think of risk as the probability and impact of a vulnerability being exploited. If the impact and probability of a vulnerability being exploited is low, then there is low risk. Inversely, if the impact and...
To manage cyber risk exposure you must understand your expanding attack surface and then prioritize vulnerability management and remediation using a combination of people, process, and technology. Consider the following four steps. 1. Use tools to automatically scan and inventory your attack surface The...
It performs a vulnerability analysis process that aims to discover whether the organization is at risk of known vulnerabilities, assigns a level of severity to those vulnerabilities, and recommends whether a threat should be mitigated or remediated. Vulnerability testing helps organizations discover ...

than it is now. The risks that modern organizations face have grown more complex, fueled by the rapid pace of globalization. New risks constantly emerge, often related to and generated by the now-pervasive use of technology. Climate change has been dubbed a "threat multiplier" by risk experts...
What is a cyber threat? A threat refers to the hypothetical event wherein an attacker uses the vulnerability. The threat itself will normally have an exploit involved, as it's a common way hackers will make their move. A hacker may use multiple exploits at the same time after assessing wh...
some disasters and is used for those situations where a threat cannot be avoided entirely. Rather than planning to avoid a risk, mitigation deals with the aftermath of a disaster and the steps that can be taken prior to the event occurring to reduce adverse and, potentially, long-term ...
Read about how a strong vulnerability management program gives companies the capacity to easily detect vulnerabilities early before they become real threats.
PASTA, or Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis, is a risk-centric threat modeling methodology. It involves seven stages: defining objectives, defining the technical scope, application decomposition, threat identification, vulnerability analysis, attack simulation, and risk analysis. PASTA enabl...
Risk refers to the probability or threat of a damage, injury, liability, loss, or any other negative occurrence that is caused by external or internal vulnerabilities, and that may be neutralized through preemptive action. Vulnerability, on the other hand, implies susceptibility to harm or damage...
