Vulnerability Assessment

Vulnerabilities are a flaw or weakness in a system security procedure, design, implementation, or control that could be intentionally or unintentionally exercised by a threat. The goal of this program is to develop a list of vulnerabilities (flaws or weaknesses) that could be exploited by potential threat sources. This list should focus on realistic technical and nontechnical areas where critical information can be disclosed without proper authorization, improperly modified, or made unavailable when needed.

What Does This Mean?

1: Asset vulnerabilities are identified and documented

2: Threat and vulnerability information is received from information sharing forums and sources

3: Newly identified vulnerabilities are mitigated or documented as accepted risks

4: A vulnerability management plan is developed and implemented
