Vulnerability Assessment involves proactively identifying, classifying, and mitigating vulnerabilities in an organization's technology infrastructure as part of the incident response process. It encompasses system administration responsibilities such as regular security updates, patch management, and configuration reviews to ensure that systems are protected against known threats. By conducting vulnerability assessments, organizations can reduce their attack surface, minimize the risk of a security breach, and ensure business continuity. This fits into the broader categories of Technology, System Administration, and Incident Response by providing a systematic approach to identifying and addressing weaknesses in an organization's technology infrastructure, thereby reducing the likelihood and impact of security incidents.
