Understanding Cybersecurity Risks and Threats

In cybersecurity, understanding vulnerabilities, threats, and risks is essential. Vulnerabilities are weaknesses in a system that criminals exploit, while threats pose potential harm. Risks indicate the likelihood of damage or loss. Examples of vulnerabilities include outdated software, weak authentication, and human errors. Threats like phishing and malware can compromise security. Risks range from loss of privacy and reputational damage to legal implications and even loss of life.
