Overview All facilities face a certain level of risk associated with various threats which could be a result of natural events, accidents, or intentional acts to cause harm. Vulnerability assessment is a way to establish a baseline assessment of security both in terms of technology and process.
The vulnerability assessment considers the potential impact of loss from a successful attack as well as the vulnerability of the facility/location to an attack. Vulnerability Assessment is a critical component of any security infrastructure because it enables proactive detection and remediation of security vulnerabilities.
