Vulnerability Analysis

A vulnerability assessment analyst performs assessments of systems and networks within the network environment and identifies where those systems/networks deviate from acceptable configurations. This module will provide the learner with the necessary knowledge and tools to find and understand vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them and to use appropriate tools and resources. On completion, the learner will be able to conduct assessments of threats and vulnerabilities, determine deviations from acceptable configurations, assess the level of risk and develop and/or recommend appropriate mitigation countermeasures.
