A security engineer must protect the company from known issues that trigger adware. Recently new incident has been raised that could harm the system. Which security concepts are present in this scenario?
The security scenario involves protecting the company from known issues that trigger adware and addressing a recent incident that could harm the system.
This scenario involves identifying vulnerabilities (weaknesses in the system that can be exploited) and threats (potential harm that can exploit these vulnerabilities).
A vulnerability is an inherent flaw in the system, while a threat is an event or condition that has the potential to exploit the vulnerability.
The security engineer needs to assess both the vulnerabilities present and the threats that could exploit these vulnerabilities to implement effective protection measures.
