Vulnerability assessment is a systematic process of identifying, quantifying, and prioritizing vulnerabilities in a system, organization, or infrastructure. This process involves analyzing potential threats and their impacts on the target, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of existing security measures in mitigating these vulnerabilities. The goal of vulnerability assessment is to identify weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors, and to provide recommendations for improving overall security and resilience. This research area often involves the use of tools and techniques such as penetration testing, risk analysis, and security audits to identify and address vulnerabilities.
