VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT

VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT

Vulnerability assessment is the process of identifying, quantifying, and classifying vulnerabilities in a system. Examples of systems for which vulnerabilities are evaluated include, but are not limited to, computer systems, energy supply systems, water supply systems, transport systems, and communication systems. Such assessments can be carried out on behalf of a number of different organizations, from small businesses to large regional infrastructures. This activity can be conducted in the political, social and economic fields at national and international level.
