Testing methods
Vulnerability Assessment
A vulnerability assessment systematically identifies, classifies, and prioritizes vulnerabilities in an application or environment. It emphasizes coverage and prioritization over exploitation, and is often the first stage before penetration testing confirms which findings are truly exploitable.
Key points
- Breadth-first identification and risk prioritization.
- Does not, by itself, prove exploitability.
- Feeds penetration testing and remediation workflows.
