Term Papers: Under what circumstances, and in what enterprises, would a risk assessment be more useful than a security vulnerability assessment?
Risk Assessments and SVAs
While risk assessments and security vulnerability assessments (SVAs) are similar, they have many differences. Where possible, a security vulnerability assessment would be helpful. This is the case when a risk that is being assessed can be replicated and measured. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to replicate and measure certain risks.
