👉 Vulnerability engineering is a proactive approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating security weaknesses in software systems before they can be exploited by attackers. It involves a systematic process of analyzing the system's architecture, code, and configurations to uncover potential vulnerabilities. Engineers use various techniques, including static and dynamic analysis, penetration testing, and threat modeling, to simulate real-world attacks and evaluate the system's resilience. By understanding these vulnerabilities, organizations can prioritize remediation efforts, implement patches or workarounds, and enhance overall security posture. This approach not only reduces the risk of successful attacks but also fosters a culture of security awareness and continuous improvement within development teams.
