Critical infrastructure, including energy, transportation, and communication systems, forms the backbone of modern society. Protecting these key systems from cyber threats is essential to ensure their reliability and security. At SafeNet, we understand the criticality of these systems and the importance of conducting thorough vulnerability assessments to identify and mitigate potential security risks.
The Role of Vulnerability Assessment in Securing Critical Infrastructure
Vulnerability assessment is a critical component of any cybersecurity strategy, especially for protecting key systems in critical infrastructure. It involves identifying, quantifying, and prioritizing vulnerabilities in systems, applications, and networks. By conducting regular vulnerability assessments, organizations can proactively identify and address security weaknesses before they can be exploited by cyber attackers.
