This book explains how to do them based on the 35+ years experience of a Vulnerability Assessor. This book is the missing manual for the missing link: It provides practical advice on how to do effective, imaginative, proactive Vulnerability Assessments based on the authors 30+ years of experience as a vulnerability assessor.

1. Vulnerability Assessment: The Missing Manual for the Missing Link
With security, you can’t prevent or test what you
haven’t envisioned!
Imaginative Vulnerability Assessments (VAs) can
help with this problem but VAs often get confused
with other security analysis techniques that are
not as good at finding vulnerabilities, attack
scenarios, or countermeasures.
VAs are not the same thing as threat assessments,
risk assessments, security surveys, security audits,
pen testing, or “Red Teaming”!
This book offers practical advice on how to do true,
effective VAs based on the author’s 30+ years of
experience. Along the way, this book offers
practical security tips.
