Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS)
■ Used to provide a numerical score reflecting the severity of a vulnerability (0 to
10)
■ Scores are used to categorize vulnerabilities as none, low, medium, high, or
critical
■ Scores assist in prioritizing remediation efforts but do not account for existing
mitigations
B is the way to go.
CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) is the system specifically designed to quantitatively measure the criticality or severity of a vulnerability based on factors such as exploitability and potential impact. It provides a numerical score that helps organizations prioritize vulnerability management efforts.
CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) is the correct answer because it is specifically designed to quantitatively measure the criticality of a vulnerability. CVSS provides a standardized scoring mechanism that helps organizations assess the severity and impact of vulnerabilities, allowing for effective prioritization and remediation efforts.
