Vulnerability Assessment

Overview

Develop practical cybersecurity skills through hands-on examples and practical sessions. Organisations must protect their digital assets and infrastructure. Build your skills and knowledge to be cybersecurity-savvy, so that you can play a part in protecting your organisation's network and systems infrastructure.

While many instructor-led cybersecurity programmes are offered today, not many are lab-based. To pick up the technical skills in cyber security, you must have opportunities for hands-on practical sessions.

This programme is practical-based with hands-on examples for you to try out how attackers can gain access and steal data from improperly managed systems. You will understand how to avoid such system misconfiguration. The focus of this programme is on fixing VA scans on internet-facing servers. You will be given hands-on practical skills on network protocols, software vulnerabilities, and basic penetration testing knowledge to protect computer and network resources. In the ICT Skills Framework, the programme will cover skills in Security Assessment and Testing (Proficiency Level 2).
