Description: Device vulnerability refers to an inherent weakness in an electronic device that can be exploited by attackers to compromise its security. These vulnerabilities can arise from various sources, such as programming errors, misconfigurations, or flaws in hardware design. Exploiting these weaknesses may allow an attacker to access sensitive data, take control of the device, or even propagate malware through connected networks. Vulnerabilities can be classified into different categories, such as software, hardware, and network vulnerabilities, each with its own characteristics and exploitation methods. Identifying and analyzing these vulnerabilities is crucial for cybersecurity, as it enables organizations to implement appropriate mitigation and protection measures. In an increasingly interconnected world, where devices such as smartphones, IoT (Internet of Things), and industrial systems are in constant communication, vulnerability management has become a priority to protect both personal information and critical infrastructure.
