Explanation:

In Cybersecurity, vulnerability can be defined as any weakness, flaw or defect found in a software application or network and are exploitable by an attacker or hacker to gain an unauthorized access or privileges to sensitive data in a computer system.

This ultimately implies that, vulnerability in a network avail attackers or any threat agent the opportunity to leverage on the flaws, errors, weaknesses or defects found in order to compromise the security of the network.

In this scenario, a security administrator is reviewing the following information from a file that was found on a compromised host: "cat suspiciousfile.txt."

Some of the ways to prevent vulnerability in a network are;

1. Ensure you use a very strong password with complexity through the use of alphanumerics.

2. You should use a two-way authentication service.

3. You should use encrypting software applications or services.
