Risk vs Vulnerability: Understanding the Difference

This presentation emphasizes that having a vulnerability doesn't necessarily mean you have a high-risk situation, it's the probability of an attacker taking advantage of that vulnerability that matters.

Presentation illustrates the difference between risk and vulnerability in your presentation, for example:

* Vulnerability: A known flaw or weakness in a system
* Risk: The likelihood of an attacker exploiting that vulnerability to cause harm

This distinction is crucial in understanding the concept of risk management, and can be used to justify investment in mitigating vulnerabilities before they become actual risks.
