What is the purpose of doing vulnerability tracking after a threat has been discovered?
June 17, 2022 at 6:50 am #658900You might need to better understand that incident but also, where there is one weakness in a system, there could well be more and these need to be identified so that weaknesses can be eliminated.
June 29, 2025 at 6:58 pm #718074When they talk about vulnerability tracking in the text, is it the same as penetration testing or the same as vulnerability probing.
And what is vulnerability assessments?
I know that vulnerability probing is a part of penetration testing.
So what is vulnerability tracking and vulnerability assessments.
June 30, 2025 at 7:56 pm #718086Vulnerability tracking identifies, assesses, prioritises and fixes security vulnerabilities within an organization’s IT infrastructure. Penetration testing can be a way of discovering vulnerabilities and seeing if the fix works properly.
The term ‘vulnerability assessment’ is sometimes used identically to ‘Vulnerability tracking’ or as in the preceding paragraph, assesses how serious a vulnerability is. That helps to prioritise the tasks of fixing the system.
