Analysis of computer system vulnerability

Xin Gao, Xiaoyu Zhao

With the gradual development of science and technology, computer systems become more
and more complicated. Meanwhile, computer system security is not well guaranteed. A
number of lawbreakers take advantage of computer system vulnerability, which is a threat
to computer system security. Computer system security cannot be strengthened unless
assessments and researches on computer system vulnerability are carried out. This paper
aims to cover the definition of computer system vulnerability and explain the causes of the
problem. At last, this paper will conclude several methods of doing computer system
vulnerability assessment.
