Four key terms in Cybersecurity, needs to know.

 There are four key terms in Cybersecurity which I think need to be concise and clear concepts to understand the basic terminology of Cybersecurity.

They are:

1. Vulnerability
2. Threat
3. Exploit
4. Risk

1. Vulnerability:

A vulnerability means is a flaw, loophole, oversight, or error that can be exploited to violate system security policy.

Example: A software or an application that has code vulnerable to a buffer or flow exploit.

2. Threat:

A threat is an event, natural or man-made, able to cause negative impact to an organization.

3. Exploit:

An exploit is a defined way to breach the security of an IT system through a vulnerability.

4. Risk:

It is a situation involving exposure to danger.

And understanding the key terms will help to deep dive into Cybersecurity more.
