Learn to manage vulnerabilities through a six-step life cycle, from discovering vulnerabilities with remote or agent-based scans to prioritizing assets, assessing results, reporting, remediating, and verifying fixes.
Assess your attack surface with external vulnerability scans from a cloud location. Use remote and agent-based scans, authenticated where possible, to cover internal vulnerabilities and reduce risk through segmentation.

Examine vulnerability management scan results, showing 90 critical and 166 high risks, including an out-of-date Unix OS and phpMyAdmin flaws, with upgrade, patch, and credential checks guidance.
In this course you will learn the aspects of vulnerability management through both labs and lectures. Vulnerability management is a key aspect of cyber security that isn't going away anytime soon. As long as software exists, there will be vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit to hack into organizations. Vulnerability management is a great field for those new to cyber security. The technical knowledge required for Vulnerability management is not as complex as other Blue team and Red team positions like Incident Response and Penetration Testing. However the skills that you will learn as a vulnerability management analyst, will benefit you regardless of which path you decide to go down.
In this course you will learn about the process that helps organizations identify, assess, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities in their systems and applications. This process helps minimize the risk of cyber attacks, data breaches, and other security incidents that can result from exploitation of vulnerabilities. By continuously monitoring and addressing vulnerabilities, organizations can maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their data and systems, and demonstrate compliance with industry standards and regulations.
Gain hands on experience with top industry tools that will boost your resume and make a great talking point in your future interviews.
