1. The susceptibility of a nation or military force to any action by any
means through which its war potential or combat effectiveness may be reduced
or its will to fight diminished. 2. The characteristics of a system that
cause it to suffer a definite degradation (incapability to perform the
designated mission) as a result of having been subjected to a certain level
of effects in an unnatural (manmade) hostile environment. 3. In information
operations, a weakness in information system security design, procedures,
implementation, or internal controls that could be exploited to gain
unauthorized access to information or an information system (FM 3‑13) (Army) Manifestation of
an unsatisfied or perceived need in an individual or a target audience (FM 3‑05.20) vulnerability analysis (DOD)
In information operations, a systematic examination of an information system
or product to determine the adequacy of security measures, identify security
deficiencies, provide data from which to predict the effectiveness of
proposed security measures, and confirm the adequacy of such measures after
implementation (FM 3‑13) (Army) A process to
