Taking a Look at Vulnerability

Vulnerability identification- In this risk analysis step the association recognizes all the particular vulnerabilities that exist in its own human services data frameworks or systems. For the most part, vulnerabilities take the type of imperfections or shortcomings in framework methods or configuration. Programming bundles are accessible to help with distinguishing vulnerabilities, yet the association may likewise need to lead interviews, studies, and so forth. A few associations may utilize outside experts to help them distinguish the vulnerabilities in their information

People tend to base their self-worth on others’ opinions and most importantly, if they are lovable. Kipnis asks the questions, “But isn’t it a little depressing to think we are somehow incapable of inventing forms of emotional life based on anything other than subjugation?” (Kipnis, 410). This question poses a very interesting subject of how love and peoples’ value of themselves undoubtedly correlate. We depend on love to be able to feel fulfilled, yet love involves always having someone around. This might sound nice to some people, but to me, having to be around someone almost constantly sounds exhausting with no escape. I believe that relationships make people feel safe since they feel cared for and validated, and therefor are content living a life always having to appease

Defining Vulnerabilities are challenging most of the time, because it is not known what to look for? What is the threat an attacker is interested to take in looking for vulnerability? Most of the cases, when attacker obtains a copy of software or OS they are targeting and conduct their testing in their own environment, there is very little risk in finding vulnerabilities. This situation happens most often, where attacker tries to replicate the real world scenario in lab. However, it is not always possible for an attacker to replicate as the real world scenario is too elaborate and

When I think of the word vulnerable, I zoom to flashbacks of movies or show scenes in which one half of a couple begs his or her significant other to be more open. "It's ok to be vulnerable with me!" the desperate voice pleads. In this, sense, vulnerability can mean something in line with honesty, the acknowledgement of one's own sensitivity, and being emotionally available for another human. But when it comes to networking and trying to create new opportunities in life or work, is the honesty required of being vulnerable - saying you are having a tough time or need some advice, for example - too raw? Does vulnerability lessen your chances of letting great opportunities take root? or can that genuine approach actually work in your favor?

People often prefer to believe that it’s possible to hide pieces of ourselves that we don’t want people to see. And the fact is what we want to hide from others is something that we fear to face ourselves. The less we face these parts of ourselves, the more they hurt us. Learning about ourselves and facing all the facts of ourselves, especially those that we strive not to see, is the key to integration with ourselves, as well as connecting with other people. The less fluidity within ourselves to go in and out of our emotional spaces, the more likely ruptures will be caused in our relationships when blocked avenues explode.

Globalization processes have created new forms of extreme vulnerability that disproportionately impact the welfare of poor women of color living in border cities. As borders have become increasingly permeable and capitalism has transcended national borders, outsourcing labor has become a common practice within transnational corporatism. To meet the demands of the global North, gendered forms of labor have emerged in the global South that have resulted in the exploitation and abuse of poor women of color. The rising levels of violence that poor, border women are subjected is one of the multi-faceted effects of globalization within border cities. The presence of an informal economy, existing forms of patriarchal structure, racial hierarchies, and the militarization of borders all lead to conditions that make female migrant workers across U.S. and Mexican borderlands denationalized citizens. Because of the state’s role in using militarization and policing as forms of social control, migrant women cannot exercise their citizenship and claim control over their own bodies. Although globalization is viewed as a phenomenon that improves the living conditions for all, I argue that it presents complex challenges to women’s claim over their own bodies and contributes to their overall state of rightlessness within borderlands.

In truth, it is only through making oneself vulnerable that there can be genuine intimacy. All humans thirst for intimacy in any shape or form, but it can be hard to find from time to time. Consequently, intimacy-deprived people are normally the ones who are found to be overwhelmed by isolation, separation, lack of friendship,

In order to effectively and efficiently assess the vulnerabilities and mitigating factors for modern day automobiles, drones/ unmanned aircraft, and public transportation one must understand how vulnerabilities are identified and how to correctly mitigate them. Examining a number of risks modern day automobiles, drones, and public transportation presents, and the detailed attention needed to mitigate risk and vulnerabilities due to widespread effects on individuals, society, computer systems, and infrastructures, allows thought-provoking ideas for how future vulnerabilities will be assessed and mitigated. Modern day automobiles offer a wide range of advances that are at risk. The same applies to the emergence of drones, especially at the

Yes, a vulnerability is still valid even thought there is no associated risk. The reason for this is that although there is no risk now because there is no associated threat, it does not mean that there won't be in the future. If you think about it like there's a hole in the fence of a prison, the situation we have is that there is no one that is looking to exploit that hole just yet but down the line there could very well be someone that finds it and gets away. Much like the example, if there is an issue that is found and is preventable, even if there isn't any risk of exploitation just yet, there should be measures taken to fix the issue.

How secure is our personal information? According to the article “WWW: The Hackers’ Haven” (Mathews) he talks about how many companies, even well known ones such as WhatsApp, are having trouble keeping their company secure. In this article, its explained that many companies try to make people feel secure by saying things like “android is safe from virus” (pg1), but like it states in the article, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Although many companies take the correct steps to decrease the risk of being breached, hackers these days can easily find ways around it, no matter how many times the encryption algorithm is changed (pg1).

Vulnerability assessment is to find weak points and take a more holistic view of safety. Penetration testing is a concentrated attack one or more vulnerabilities that are widely known already exist or are suspected of existing. Vulnerability scale now beyond technology operational processes such as patch management and incident management have a significant impact on the life cycle analysis vulnerability. Vulnerability can predict the effectiveness of the proposed measures and assess their actual effectiveness after they are put into use.

Taking a look at this facility, a variety of vulnerabilities with regard to access control can be noted. The facility is just an open book. It involves no check-points most specifically for the parking area. Probably for those coming in on foot can be checked at the reception area in which case they will still be in the building thus not as safe an option. The parking area as well seems open for anyone to drive up and park without restriction or any form of check-up provided. Check-points facilitate security by ensuring that everyone coming in, and every car coming into a facility is accounted for and security personnel have foreseen that it is entirely safe to let such people in. This is not the case with old Orlando police headquarters,

The focus of this paper is on sexual vulnerability, but sexual vulnerability is connected to an individual’s overall vulnerability which includes a number of other potential risk factors. Measuring overall vulnerability presents many logistical issues because being vulnerable is a relative state of being that may fluctuate depending on any number of secondary variables--making vulnerability an extremely difficult phenomena to capture25. Prior studies have defined vulnerability in three categories: health-related factors, social factors, and familial factors25. Using this understanding and a previously proposed framework, Figure 1.1 shows an adapted framework meant to elucidate vulnerability in the

“...and that visibility which makes us most vulnerable is that which also is the source of our greatest strength,” (Audre Lorde). Vulnerability is the quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally. Being vulnerable is pouring our hearts out to other people, to sympathize, and to empathize.Vulnerability is a fundamental part of being human, it’s how we feel, function, and exist with emotion. Sometimes, however, being vulnerable can have consequences and repercussions. Telling someone a secret can lead to betrayal and letting out your emotions can lead to mockery. The experiences of Richard Perry in Fallen Angels, Hazel Grace in The Fault in Our Stars, and Harry Potter in The Order of the Phoenix, show how vulnerability is a negative trait that can lead to emptiness, heartbreak, and grief.

I have been doing a great deal of thinking about the relationship of vulnerability and love. Believe it or not, you are the most vulnerable when you are experiencing love. Years and years ago, I used to believe love was simply an elusive feeling, more of an ideal than a reality. Love was simply a fascination that you felt at the beginning of a relationship but never achieved in a way that was portrayed in the movies or in romance novels. In hindsight, I believe the “love” that I felt was merely a combination of physical attraction, a fondness for the girl’s personality and the security of being in a relationship. What I have since learned is that true love requires an additional ingredient more powerful than any other factor: vulnerability!
