The technology development has been tremendous in these past several years. The cyberspace is used by trillions across the globe. The exchange of data in terms of web has seen a stunning increase. Even though the benefits are numerous it also poses a daunting threat. The rate of cyber-crimes has escalated immensely. There have been headlines on how cyber breach has resulted in major capital loss and resulted in shutting down of industries/companies.
The ever-changing and evolving technology has given a chance for cyber criminals to act on its vulnerability. So, this has made vulnerability assessment even more prominent in prevention of cyber-crimes. Vulnerability assessment gives security escorts and other associates the data they need to recognise and spot threats for possible redemption in regard of cyber risk. Vulnerability assessment gives us a clear picture of faults and loop holes in an organisation and helps securing from future data breaches. These assessments incorporate analysis of different vulnerabilities, identifies them in a network and then mitigates it from the database. Turning a blind eye on vulnerability assessment gives the attackers a route to carry out their crime with ease.
Simple vulnerabilities such as weak passwords, usernames, outdated security tools, bulky forgotten databases can lead to serious cyber breach. This is the prime reason why vulnerability assessment is done according to the distinct categories of possible risks. Researching on the recurrent vulnerabilities can help a company minimize their vulnerability disclosure and work on their security gaps and build a strong foundation.
