You Will Learn How To
- Detect and respond to vulnerabilities that put your organization at risk using scanners
- Employ real-world exploits and evaluate their effect on your systems
- Configure vulnerability scanners
- Analyze the results of vulnerability scans
- Assess vulnerability alerts and advisories
- Establish a strategy for vulnerability management
Course Benefits Knowledge of vulnerability assessment and hacking techniques allows you to detect vulnerabilities before your networks are attacked. In this course, you learn to configure and use vulnerability scanners to detect weaknesses and prevent network exploitation. You acquire the knowledge to assess the risk to your enterprise from an array of vulnerabilities and to minimize your exposure to costly security breaches.
Who Should Attend Security auditors, firewall/IDS personnel, PCI security testers, network managers and those involved in cybersecurity measures and implementation. Experience with network security at the level of Course 468, " System and Network Security Introduction," is assumed. A working knowledge of TCP/IP is also assumed.
Hands-On Training Exercises provide you with practical experience assessing vulnerabilities and include:
- Configuring scanners
- Port scanning and enumeration
- Scanning infrastructure, servers and desktops
- Exploiting browsers, IDS, SQL and file services
- Investigating and preventing spyware
- Creating custom vulnerability tests
- Performing a risk assessment
- Interpreting scanning reports
- Identifying false positives and negatives
- Comparing scanner results
