#Vulnerability Assessment

A vulnerability assessment is a ceremonial parade of fear, quantifying the terrors lurking in an organization or system to shake conference rooms to their core. With a checklist in one hand and a lexicon of jargon in the other, practitioners point out others' flaws while conveniently forgetting their own impotence. In the end, they cultivate an aura of “we're managing risk” while exposing nothing but a fragile reality. The true goal is not so much to find defects as to restore their own sense of security.
