Protecting against vulnerability

Reducing vulnerability

Description

Protecting against vulnerability involves identifying and addressing weaknesses that expose individuals, communities, or systems to harm or exploitation. This strategy focuses on implementing safeguards, strengthening resilience, and reducing risk through practical measures such as risk assessment, capacity building, contingency planning, and resource allocation. Its core purpose is to minimize exposure to threats, ensure rapid response to emerging risks, and promote long-term security and stability by proactively remedying specific vulnerabilities before they result in significant damage.
