Security concepts
Certain concepts recur throughout different fields of security:
- Assurance - assurance is the level of guarantee that a security system will behave as expected
 - Countermeasure - a countermeasure is a way to stop a threat from triggering a risk event
 - Defense in depth - never rely on one single security measure alone
 - Exploit - a vulnerability that has been triggered by a threat - a risk of 1.0 (100%)
 - Risk - a risk is a possible event which could cause a loss
 - Threat - a threat is a method of triggering a risk event that is dangerous
 - Vulnerability - a weakness in a target that can potentially be exploited by a threat
