How do I interpret vulnerability severity levels?

What do the different vulnerability severity levels mean?

Vulnerability severity levels typically range from low to critical, indicating the potential impact of a security flaw.

Can you explain what a 'critical' severity level means?

A 'critical' severity level indicates that the vulnerability can be exploited easily and may lead to significant damage or data loss.

How should I prioritize fixing vulnerabilities based on their severity?

You should prioritize critical vulnerabilities first, followed by high, medium, and then low, based on the potential impact.

Are there any tools to help assess these severity levels?

Yes, there are several tools like CVSS, Nessus, and Qualys that can help assess and categorize vulnerability severity.
