WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A THREAT, A VULNERABILITY AND A BUG?

In this latest excerpt from the forthcoming Software Engineering Manual of Style textbook I've been working all year on, we look at the difference between cyber threats, vulnerabilities and bugs - three closely related but very different incantations of ultimately, the same thing: risk vectors.

A PDF of the related processes with notes is available here:

(DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.23428.50561)
