This method counts and grades / categorizes (or gives importance) to system vulnerabilities.

In the past, Vulnerability Assessment was only used to energy and transportation systems. However, at present, it is also applied to IT.

In a way, Vulnerability Assessment and Vulnerability Scanning are almost the same, as the former can also identity against known vulnerabilities.
