- A numeric score is usually assigned to a vulnerability based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). These numeric scores are generated using a complex formula that considers such variables as the access vector, attack complexity, authentication, confidentiality of the data, and the system’s integrity and availability. The vulnerabilities with the highest numeric CVSS scores are generally considered to require early attention. Understanding the CVSS is an important skill for a cybersecurity analyst. how to review the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and review examples of vulnerabilities that have been assigned a CVSS.arrow_forwardHow did ADTs come to be?

Keep in mind the difference between an incident and vulnerability. While these charts are dated they still provide valuable trend information that continues to rise. Today, both security incidents and security vulnerabilities continue to rise for a variety of reasons. What reasons can you provide for the continuing upwards trend in the number of incidents reported? You should provide at least four (4) reasons with supporting data and reasoned arguments to support your answer. Good answers will provide facts, reasoned arguments and references that go beyond anecdotal information. Explain using facts, reasoned arguments and references that go beyond anecdotal information and link to sources. PLEASE ADD YOUR SOURCES! Please have clear writing as well! Thank you!arrow_forward
