Explain the difference between a threat and vulnerability and how business need to protect against each type.

Threat means a person or thing most likely to cause any. Threat means most likely to cause any damage or danger to any injury or damage. For example it is a physical violence than can lead to physical damage or death of both conflicting parties. Vulnerability means exposed for being harmed that may be physically or emotionally. Means people’s property, resources, culture, economic environment and social activity is on the stage of harm, degradation or destruction. It means taking risk. Threat may cause harm to one self we can stop it as we don’t get any pre intimation about it when it happens. But vulnerability if noticed on time it can be avoided through certain steps or its risk can be reduced. Threat that exploit vulnerability intentionally or accidentally and cause damage. But vulnerability is weakness on oneself. Business can be protected by this type by their programs involve security programs providing with enough knowledge. Management program involves setting by regular testing and the result of testing should be periodically informed to the employees. The updates available help the network to access against attackers who exploit. Cyber security programs should be strong long term programs and staff training should also be involved. Our IT staff understanding the potentiality threats and vulnerabilities is not enough for the entire organization needs to have knowledge of cyber security practices.
