Vulnerability screening is different from a penetration test in many key respects. What are some of the best resources for implementing each of these plans?

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.
