What is threats and vulnerability in information security?

In short, we can see them as a spectrum: First, a vulnerability exposes your organization to threats. A threat is a malicious or negative event that takes advantage of a vulnerability. Finally, the risk is the potential for loss and damage when the threat does occur.

How IP vulnerabilities are exploited by threat actors?

Threat actors spoof the source IP address in an IP packet to perform blind spoofing or non-blind spoofing. Threat actors position themselves between a source and destination to transparently monitor, capture, and control the communication.

How is TCP IP vulnerable?

The TCP/IP protocol suite is vulnerable to a variety of attacks ranging from password sniffing to denial of service. Software to carry out most of these attacks is freely available on the Internet. These vulnerabilities-unless carefully controlled-can place the use of the Internet or intranet at considerable risk.
