Glossar

Vulnerability-Assessment refers to the process of identifying and evaluating security vulnerabilities in a system or application. This can be done using automated tools or manual checks. The aim is to identify potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by attackers.

Vulnerability management is a broader approach that includes identifying vulnerabilities, but also assessing risks, prioritizing actions and monitoring changes over time. It is therefore not only about identifying weaknesses, but also about implementing measures to eliminate risks.
