Vulnerability

A vulnerability is a weakness or flaw in a system, software, or network that can be exploited by cybercriminals or malicious actors to cause harm. Think of it like a broken lock on a door or a weak spot in a fence—someone with bad intentions can take advantage of this to gain unauthorized access or cause damage. Identifying and fixing vulnerabilities is crucial for maintaining security and protecting sensitive information from attacks or breaches. Regular updates and security measures help minimize these risks by addressing known vulnerabilities.
