Vulnerability Assessment

This programme teaches us about useful tools for scanning vulnerabilities and the types of preventive measures we can take to mitigate potential risks.

I learnt about the basics of Vulnerability Assessment and how to plan related activities, as well as gaining a high-level understanding of common vulnerabilities and how to find remediation recommendations.

It was useful to learn how vulnerabilities are discovered in web applications and servers, how to mitigate these vulnerabilities, and how to decipher CVSS and its use in classifying risks. Additionally, I learned about the different types of certifications and which should be used in an organisation, as well as which cipher suites are superior.
