Vulnerability assessment is the process of identifying and assessing potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses in computer systems and networks.
Vulnerability assessment is a crucial aspect of cybersecurity for IoT devices and networks, as these devices are often highly interconnected and accessible from the internet. The process involves identifying and assessing potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses in IoT systems, such as unsecured network connections, outdated firmware, or default passwords. Vulnerability assessment requires specialized security controls and technologies, as well as policies and procedures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. With the rapid growth of IoT devices and networks, the need for regular vulnerability assessment has become increasingly important to ensure the security of sensitive data and prevent cyber attacks.
