Risk is potential that a given threat will exploit vulnerabilitiesof an asset and thereby cause harm to the organization.security breach can result into compromising with organization's data and would be a source of loss of its data. To secure- risk management needed to be in action performing risk assessment and risk control.

Vulnerability are some weakness of the system that could allow security to be allowed. Any cyber security breach could be made through employees , through hardware, through former employees or through software/technology. Example in case of breach made through network- like unprotected network communications, ips and ports, insecure network architecture etc. It will result into loss of information and data off the organization.
