An attack in cybersecurity is typically modeled as:
Asset: Something valuable (e.g., data, systems) that needs protection. Threat: A potential danger or actor that could exploit a weakness. Vulnerability: A weakness or flaw that can be exploited by a threat. When a threat exploits a vulnerability to compromise an asset, that constitutes an attack.
