Defining Cyber security, Risk, vulnerabilities & threats

Cyber Security is the protection of computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks.

Vulnerability means weaknesses or gaps in a security program that can be exploited to gain unauthorized access to an asset.

Threat is anything that can exploit a vulnerability, intentionally or accidentally, and obtain data and do damage to your system. A threat is something we are trying to protect against.

Risk is the exposure to harm or loss resulting from attacks on information systems.
