A vulnerability assessment is the process of identifying, quantifying, and prioritizing (or ranking) the vulnerabilities in a system. Examples of systems for which vulnerability assessments are performed include, but are not limited to, information technology systems, energy supply systems, water supply systems, transportation systems, and communication systems.
[17] In effect, the Ware report reaffirmed the major threat posed by computer penetration to the new online time-sharing computer systems. To better understand system weaknesses, the federal government and its contractors soon began organizing teams of penetrators, known as tiger teams , to use computer penetration to test system security.
The primary purpose of the assessment is to find the vulnerabilities in the system, but the assessment report conveys to stakeholders that the system is secured from these vulnerabilities. If an intruder gained access to a network consisting of vulnerable Web servers, it is safe to assume that he gained access to those systems as well. [2]
Toll Free No. 1800-11-4430. Issues advisories or alerts and provide guidance and expertise-sharing in addressing the threats/vulnerabilities for protection of CII. In the event of a likely/actual national-level threat, it plays a pivotal role to coordinate the response of the various CII stakeholders in close cooperation with CERT-India.
Specification-based testing aims to test the functionality of software according to the applicable requirements. [2] This level of testing usually requires thorough test cases to be provided to the tester, who then can simply verify that for a given input, the output value (or behavior), either "is" or "is not" the same as the expected value specified in the test case.
ObjectSecurity was founded in 2000 by information security experts, Ulrich Lang and Rudolf Schreiner. [6] At that time, Lang was a researcher at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, working on "Access Policies for Middleware", and both were working as independent information security consultants.
In software project management, software testing, and software engineering, verification and validation is the process of checking that a software engineer system meets specifications and requirements so that it fulfills its intended purpose.
