Vulnerability & Threat & Risk

mahithachunduri

It's often confusing !!!


Let's simplify this,


Consider a household with a toddler and a water tumbler on the table-


Vulnerability in this case - Placing an object made of breakable material at a height

Threat in this case - Having a toddler

Risk- Toddler knocking out the tumbler



Vulnerability is a weakness, Threat is a process/element/ event that magnifies the likelihood of negative event . Risk is the outcome of these two factors.

Information system security is dependent on these factors with a consideration of return of investment.
