A vulnerability assessment is a process for identifying, classifying, and prioritizing the security vulnerabilities in a information system. The output of a vulnerability assessment is typically a report that includes a list of the identified vulnerabilities and information about each one, such as threat level, potential impacts, and recommendations for mitigation.

Vulnerability assessments can be conducted manually or with the use of automated tools. When conducting a manual assessment, security experts will analyze the system for weaknesses and potential attack vectors. Automated assessments use software to scan for known vulnerabilities and can provide a more comprehensive view of the system's security posture.
