What is the best definition of a 'Vulnerability' in the context of network security?
A failure to launch an attack
A successful type of network attack
The person performing the attack
A weakness in a system that can be exploited to perform unauthorized actions
A vulnerability refers to a weakness in a system that can be exploited by a threat actor to perform unauthorized actions. Understanding vulnerabilities is key to improving security measures by addressing these weaknesses before they can be exploited. 'A failure to launch an attack' does not represent a system weakness but rather highlights an unsuccessful attack attempt. 'The person performing the attack' and 'A successful type of network attack' focus on the attacker and the attack itself rather than the weakness being exploited.
