Vulnerability, in IT science, is defined as a state of exposure to possible attack, degradation or damage, physically, electronically or emotionally. While the first two cases are part of cybersecurity, vulnerabilities of an emotional nature are manifested in phenomena of hacking, ethnocentric attacks or even cyberbullying. Understanding this vulnerability landscape is an important step in designing an appropriate defense and protection position, and in many cases, when considering potential threats, the boundaries of physical and electronic worlds are confused. This master's thesis studies the issue of vulnerability, mainly in terms of management and valuation aspects. In more detail, while the main characteristics of the vulnerability are mentioned, the forms that it can take, the ways of their detection, as well as the procedures for protection from possible attacks are further commented. For a more complete understanding of these issues, specific examples of vulnerability detection and management are provided at the end of the paper.
