Confusing these three core concepts is a common mistake in infrastructure defense:
🎯 Threat: The danger (e.g., Ransomware).
🚪 Vulnerability: The weak spot (e.g., Unpatched OS).
💥 Risk: The damage when a threat exploits a vulnerability.
Formula: Risk = Threat × Vulnerability × Impact
You can't eliminate threats, but patching vulnerabilities reduces your risk.
How do you prioritize risk in your environment? 👇
