Expand Your Cybersecurity Knowledge With Hikvision’s White Paper, “Understanding Vulnerabilities: Insights into the World of Software Vulnerabilities and Vulnerability Management”
Along with the many resources available in our online Cybersecurity Center, our white papers are valuable additions to your toolbox. The white paper “Understanding Vulnerabilities: Insights into the World of Software Vulnerabilities and Vulnerability Management” discusses how software vulnerabilities are a reality for everyone who uses technology.
An essential part of cybersecurity includes understanding the vulnerability management process. Vulnerabilities are the bugs, flaws, or weaknesses in applications, operating systems, and software components that can be exploited by threat actors. Every month, software companies release patches to fix vulnerabilities discovered in the devices we use every day. When dealing with vulnerabilities, it’s important to know how to:
- Search for vulnerabilities
- Get patches
- Prioritize your patching
Vulnerabilities are not limited to operating systems; software applications, mobile device apps, and even software components are also prone to bugs that could give threat actors a foothold into a system. Unfortunately, vulnerabilities still remain a misunderstood part of our lives. This Hikvision white paper provides in-depth information on vulnerabilities, and addresses three basic types of software: operating systems, applications (apps) and software components, and firmware. All of these are susceptible to vulnerabilities and will likely have patches released by their respective software vendor, provided the software is supported by that vendor.
