Value and Vulnerability

Value refers to the importance or worth of something—such as data, assets, or systems—to an individual or organization. Vulnerability is a weakness or gap that could be exploited or cause harm. When something with high value has vulnerabilities, it becomes a significant target for threats, like cyberattacks or physical damage. Protecting valuable assets involves identifying vulnerabilities and addressing them to reduce risk. Understanding both value and vulnerability helps prioritize security measures and resource allocation, ensuring that the most critical and susceptible assets are safeguarded effectively.
