Question

What is the primary goal of the vulnerability assessment and remediation domain of the maintenance model? Is this important to an organization with an Internet presence? Why?

Answer 1

The vulnerability assessment is the process using which we can identify and also find the documented vulnerabilities which are executed in a physical and in a logical way. The vulnerabilities and assessment can be non-technical as well as technical. Thus the vulnerability assessment and remediation domain of the maintenance model focuses on the identification of the specific and the documented vulnerabilities and also remediating them in a timely and proper fashion.
Yes, it is important to an organization with an Internet presence. This is because for an organization with Internet presence there will be threats which can harm the applications, and critical data important to the company. This can cause network issues and also bring major losses to the organization. The vulnerabilities are the loopholes which are in the system which can be used by a third person such as an attacker or hacker who can be responsible for causing damage to the system. Thus we know that a company with Internet presence has threats and vulnerabilities and thus it is important for the organization to have the vulnerability assessment and remediation of the maintenance model implemented and executed.
