Vulnerability, Threat and Risk.

‪@worklifecyber‬ #cybersecurity #womenintech #tprm
Vulnerability, threat, and risk are three interconnected concepts in the field of cybersecurity and risk management. Here's the difference between them:
Vulnerability: A vulnerability refers to a weakness or flaw in a system, network, application, or process that can be exploited by a threat actor. It is a potential security gap that could be leveraged to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the system. Vulnerabilities can be caused by design flaws, coding errors, misconfigurations, or outdated software.
Example: An unpatched software application with a known security vulnerability is a vulnerability that can be exploited by an attacker.
Threat: A threat is a potential danger or harmful event that can exploit a vulnerability. It refers to any circumstance, event, or actor that has the potential to cause harm to an organization's assets, systems, or operations. Threats can be intentional (such as hackers, malware, or insider attacks) or unintentional (such as natural disasters or hardware failures).
Example: A threat can be a hacker attempting to exploit a vulnerability in a web application to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data.
Risk: Risk is the potential for loss, harm, or negative impact to an organization's assets, systems, or operations resulting from the interaction between vulnerabilities and threats. It represents the likelihood and impact of a potential incident or breach occurring. Risk is often expressed as a combination of the probability or likelihood of an event occurring and the impact or consequences if it does occur.
Example: The risk is the level of potential harm or damage to an organization's reputation and financial well-being if a hacker successfully exploits a vulnerability in the organization's customer database.
In summary, vulnerabilities represent weaknesses in systems, threats are potential dangers that exploit vulnerabilities, and risks are the potential negative impacts resulting from the interaction of vulnerabilities and threats. Understanding these concepts helps organizations identify and mitigate risks by addressing vulnerabilities and implementing appropriate security measures to protect against threats

About channel:
A few years ago I made a decision to switch careers. From accounting to tech! Best career decision I have ever made. It didn’t come easy but the love I developed for the field made me press on. What I realized was that it was difficult because I had no direction. I spent a lot of time reading everything and confusing myself. A friend of mine (J) freely mentored me and pushed me to do more. This channel was created in honor of her. I wanted go reach as many people as possible in a very effective way.
Please make yourself comfortable and learn.
I believe your goal of getting into tech is achievable just by simply wanting it. Want it enough to go for it.
