RISKS OCCUR when threats are able to exploit vulnerabilities. With this in mind, it becomes very important to be able to identify and analyze threats, vulnerabilities, and exploits. You can do so with threat assessments, vulnerability assessments, and exploit assessments.

A threat assessment attempts to identify as many threats as possible. It cannot identify all possible threats. Instead, it attempts to identify as many likely threats as possible. You can identify threats by reviewing historical data and using different threat modeling techniques.

CONTROLS MITIGATE RISK. In other words, they reduce or neutralize threats or vulnerabilities to an acceptable level. At any point in time, you will likely have controls that are in place, controls that are planned, and controls that are needed or being considered.

With network vulnerability assessment, you can find the weak spots in your critical assets and take corrective action before attackers exploit them to sabotage your business or steal your confidential data. Write a paragraph of your experience and the importance of network vulnerability assessment.
