🎯 Threat vs Vulnerability vs Risk

🎯 Threat vs Vulnerability vs Risk

Confusing these three core concepts is a common mistake in infrastructure defense:
🎯 Threat: The danger (e.g., Ransomware).
πŸšͺ Vulnerability: The weak spot (e.g., Unpatched OS).
πŸ’₯ Risk: The damage when a threat exploits a vulnerability.

Formula: Risk = Threat Γ— Vulnerability Γ— Impact
You can't eliminate threats, but patching vulnerabilities reduces your risk.
How do you prioritize risk in your environment? πŸ‘‡
