What is a network vulnerability?

A network vulnerability is a weakness or flaw in software, hardware, or organizational processes that can lead to a security breach in the event of a threat.

Non-physical network vulnerabilities typically affect software or data. For example, an operating system (OS) can be vulnerable to network attacks if it is not updated with the latest security patches. Without patches, a virus can infect the operating system, the host it is on, and potentially the entire network.

Physical network vulnerabilities involve physically protecting an asset, such as enclosing a server in a rack cabinet or securing an entry point with a turnstile.

Servers are subject to the strictest physical security precautions because they contain valuable data and trade secrets or serve a revenue-generating function, such as a web server hosting an e-commerce site. Servers are often stored in off-site data centers or secure rooms and should be protected with personalized access cards and biometric scanners.

Before investing in security controls, a vulnerability risk assessment is performed to quantify the cost and acceptable loss of the equipment and its function. As with all things in cybersecurity, it is a balancing act between resources and functionality that leads to the most practical solutions.
