A Vulnerability refers to a weakness or flaw in a system (software, network, or device) that could be exploited by attackers to infiltrate the system.

Such a vulnerability represents a point of weakness that can arise from various causes, such as coding errors, incorrect system configurations, or improper implementation of security components.

Identifying and managing vulnerabilities is a critical part of the information security process, which includes regular scans, regular patching system updates, and the implementation of security solutions to minimize the risks posed by vulnerabilities in case an attacker will be able to  exploit them.
