While a Threat is the danger (like Ransomware), a Vulnerability is the open door that allows it inside—a flaw, bug, or misconfiguration in software, hardware, or network processes.
3 Key Vulnerability Types:
* ⚡ Software Bugs: Outdated software and unpatched zero-days.
* ⚡ Misconfigurations: Default passwords and open ports.
* ⚡ Access Flaws: Weak password policies and missing MFA.
> Effective defense isn't about eliminating threats—it's about patching vulnerabilities before exploitation.
