About this course
Vulnerability management is an ongoing process designed to proactively protect computer systems, networks, and applications from cyberattacks and data breaches and is an integral part of your overall security system. Begin this course by exploring threat feeds like open-source intelligence (OSINT), Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), and Common Vulnerability Enumeration (CVE) to help gather information about potential threats or adversaries. Then you will investigate application vulnerability assessments for assigning severity levels, vulnerability scanning to identify known and unknown weaknesses, and penetration testing to simulate real-world attacks. Finally, you will discover vulnerability response and learn how to validate and report on remediation processes. This course is part of a series that prepares you for the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) exam.
