vulnerability to a specific application and describe at least two (2)
countermeasures or tools you would consider recommending to an organization to
mitigate that vulnerability. In addition, explicate why you believe it is
important for organizations to protect against this vulnerability while
including the potential outcomes if this vulnerability were accepted or
ignored.
