Description
A vulnerability is a flaw or weakness in system security procedures, design, implementation, or internal controls that could be exercised (accidentally triggered or intentionally exploited) and result in a security breach or a violation of the system’s security policy The goal of the vulnerability assessment is to develop a list of system vulnerabilities that could be exploited by the potential threat sources.
For OT Vulnerability Assessment, the combination of Active Scanning and Passive Monitoring method should be considered to achieve greater transparency in the environment and at the same time minimise the possible impact to the system.
Typical Vulnerability Assesment Approach
Host Security Assessment
Network Security Assessment
Architecture Security Review
