"They're two different things," said Jason Kemsley, technical director at Uptime Solutions. While refuting the suggestion that the distinction is merely semantic, he acknowledges their interdependence. "They go hand in hand. A threat has to use a vulnerability to cause damage. So, if there's no vulnerability, the threat can't do anything, and if there's no threat you can have as many vulnerabilities as you want and not be at any risk."
