Vulnerabilities |
A vulnerability is a flaw or weakness in the design or implementation of hardware, software, networks, or computer-based systems, including security procedures and controls associated with the systems. Vulnerabilities can be intentionally or unintentionally exploited to adversely affect an organization’s operations (including missions, functions, and public confidence), assets, or personnel. -- Federal Plan for Cyber Security and Information Assurance: Research and Development, NSTC p. 5 (April 2006) |
