What is a Vulnerability

About Course

Welcome to What is Vulnerability?

Vulnerabilities are the weak points in websites, applications, or systems that attackers can exploit to gain unauthorized access, steal data, or disrupt services. They are at the heart of most cybersecurity incidents — from malware infections to large-scale breaches.

In this course, you’ll learn:

What vulnerabilities are and why they matter.
The most common categories of vulnerabilities affecting websites and applications.
How attackers exploit them in real-world scenarios.
How to identify and reduce risks before they become threats.

We’ll also explore practical tools and strategies for building a security-first mindset. By the end of the course, you’ll have a clear understanding of vulnerabilities and the steps you can take to strengthen your digital defenses.
