What Is A Network Vulnerability?
A network vulnerability is a weakness or flaw in software, hardware, or organizational processes, which when compromised by a threat, can result in a security breach.
Nonphysical network vulnerabilities typically involve software or data. For example, an operating system (OS) might be vulnerable to network attacks if it’s not updated with the latest security patches. If left unpatched a virus could infect the OS, the host that it’s located on, and potentially the entire network.
Physical network vulnerabilities involve the physical protection of an asset such as locking a server in a rack closet or securing an entry point with a turnstile.
Servers have some of the strongest physical security controls in place as they contain valuable data and trade secrets or perform a revenue-generating function like a web server hosting an eCommerce site. Often stored in off-site data centers or in secure rooms, servers should be protected with personalized access cards and biometric scanners.
Prior to investing in security controls, a vulnerability risk assessment is performed to quantify the cost and acceptable loss of the equipment and its function. As with all things in cyber security it’s a balancing act of resources vs functionality that makes for the most practical solutions.

Thank you for posting this - it's a great video! Well laid out and explained. I would love to use this in my Intro to Computers class, but it's a little too long all on its own. For layout reasons, it would be great to be able to cut out each section to embed it in the course. But KZread only allows an extraction of a minute of video at a time and our LMS won't render the HTML code with a start and stop time correctly : ( I could just give them the time stamps to start and stop at but these are people just learning how to use computers so I'm really trying to keep it simple. Any recommendations? I could just screen record the sections and cite you with the entire video link beneath the clip, but I would like your permission before doing that (if there's not a better way)! - I also had a question about Phishing vs. Spear Phishing. Does Phishing become Spear Phishing because the email was only sent to Amy in your example or because she actually has a Bank of America account or both? Thanks again!

Start reading books and consuming KZread videos. I would also recommend getting familiar with Linux and the command console. Be familiar with PowerShell and Python as well. In terms of certifications, the Certified Enterprise Defender (GCED) is solid. Wish you the best of luck! - Jason

Vulnerabilities meant weakpoints and attackers can exploit them so attack types are malwares spoofing ddos social engineering Are we taking those attacks also as vulnerabilities Please someone explain me It means a lot🙏❤️.

Attacks and threats are actions to compromise the weaknesses or flaws in any system. Those flaws or weaknesses are the Vulnerabilities, I am at a beginner's level but this is my understanding. I hope it help

That's funny, I literally just set the video to 1.25x speed because it was too slow. Just shows that everyone absorbs information differently!
