Discover the fundamentals of vulnerability assessment, including why it matters and regulatory needs. Explore patch management, remediation workflows, and common vulnerability scoring system to prioritize fixes using tools like Nessus.
Explore vulnerability assessment concepts, from risk management and project scoping to compliance and asset valuation, and learn to prioritize threats using CVSS and risk matrices.
Explore vulnerability types, severity levels from low to critical, and real-world examples like the Sasser worm. Learn information leaks, denial of service, and best practices to mitigate risks.
Learn patch management by inventorying assets, testing patches in labs, and deploying updates covering performance and feature additions, security patches, software fixes, and ad hoc patches.
Explains patch management timing, prioritization, and testing, and outlines configuration and alternate host architectures. It also covers inventory management, validation, and other challenges like white listing.
Examine patch management architectures for remote and VPN assets, using agent-based, agentless, and passive scanning. Apply inventory, security controls, and phased deployment to secure patches and maintain availability.
Explore the four types of vulnerability scanners—web, host-based, network-based, and database—and review tools like Expose, OpenVAS, Nmap, Burp Suite, and ZAP Proxy.
Explore how vulnerability severity is scored with CVSS, identify reportable vulnerabilities, improve readability for decision makers, and evaluate tool outputs and compliance audits in a practical vulnerability assessment.
