What is vulnerability assessments
A vulnerability assessment is a systematic review of security problems in an information system.
The vulnerability assessment process helps to reduce the chances an attacker is able to breach an organization's IT systems – yielding a better understanding of assets, their vulnerabilities, and the overall risk to an organization
It evaluates if the system is susceptible to any known vulnerabilities, assigns severity levels to those vulnerabilities, and recommends remediation or mitigation, if and whenever needed.
