Unit - 1 - Lecture 1 Systems Vulnerability Scanning and Common Computer Security Vulnerabilities

Systems Vulnerability
-In cyber security, a vulnerability is a weakness which can be exploited by a cyber attack to gain unauthorized access to or perform unauthorized actions on a computer system.
Vulnerabilities can allow attackers to run code, access a system's memory, install malware, and steal, destroy or modify sensitive data.
To exploit a vulnerability an attacker must be able to connect to the computer system. Vulnerabilities can be exploited by a variety of methods including SQL injection, buffer overflows, cross-site scripting (XSS) and open source exploit kits that look for known vulnerabilities and security weaknesses in web applications.
Vulnerability
-National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST): Weakness in an information system, system security procedures, internal controls, or implementation that could be exploited or triggered by a threat source.
-ENISA: The existence of a weakness, design, or implementation error that can lead to an unexpected, undesirable event compromising the security of the computer system, network, application, or protocol involved.
