A security analysis is the process of identifying, evaluating, and analyzing security vulnerabilities and risks in a system, network, or application. The goal of a security analysis is to assess the effectiveness of existing security measures, identify areas for improvement, and recommend appropriate solutions to mitigate identified security risks and protect against potential threats. A security analysis typically involves reviewing and testing security controls, assessing access and authorization policies, reviewing security policies and procedures, and identifying potential security threats and risks. The output of a security analysis is usually a comprehensive report that outlines any identified vulnerabilities, recommended solutions, and steps to strengthen security measures.
