Security vulnerabilities

Security vulnerabilities are weaknesses in a computer system, software, or network that hackers can exploit to gain unauthorized access, steal information, or cause damage. Think of them like unlocked doors or open windows that make it easier for intruders to enter. These vulnerabilities can result from software bugs, outdated systems, or poor security practices. Addressing vulnerabilities involves identifying and fixing these weak points, much like locking doors or repairing broken windows, to protect sensitive data and ensure systems operate safely and reliably.
