Course Description

Vulnerability management is how security vulnerabilities are identified, evaluated, and treated in an organization. Understanding vulnerabilities is instrumental in any organization, large or small. This course will detail the creation of a vulnerability management program, to include responsibilities and resources available to improve efficiency and decrease risk throughout an enterprise. Individuals who enroll in this course will learn who should be involved in the vulnerability management process, what tasks are associated to create a secure environment, and what technology can aid in this process. Another important concept for this course is how vulnerability management is integral to any information security program, and how it can compliment other functions within the program.

This course will also address case studies and issues which can arise when vulnerability management programs are not as mature. After discussing these case studies, some tips will be provided to help mature a vulnerability management program, and what Executive leadership can do in an organization to support and grow their own programs. This course is intended to first educate Executive leadership, but also provide real-world scenarios and ways to improve security throughout the organization. All who enroll should finish the course with actionable items to take back to their businesses to support their Security teams, or even implement new practices and technologies which could improve overall security.

Success from Our Learners

"Cybrary really helped me get up to speed and acquire a baseline level of technical knowledge. It offers a far more comprehensive approach than just learning from a book. It actually shows you how to apply cybersecurity processes in a hands-on way"

Don Gates

Principal Systems Engineer/SAIC

"Cybrary’s SOC Analyst career path was the difference maker, and was instrumental in me landing my new job. I was able to show the employer that I had the right knowledge and the hands-on skills to execute the role."

Cory

Cybersecurity analyst/

"I was able to earn my CISSP certification within 60 days of signing up for Cybrary Insider Pro and got hired as a Security Analyst conducting security assessments and penetration testing within 120 days. This certainly wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the Cybrary mentor community."

"Becoming a Cybrary Insider Pro was a total game changer. Cybrary was instrumental in helping me break into cybersecurity, despite having no prior IT experience or security-related degree. Their career paths gave me clear direction, the instructors had real-world experience, and the virtual labs let me gain hands-on skills I could confidently put on my resume and speak to in interviews."

Cassandra

Information Security Analyst/Cisco Systems

"I was able to earn both my Security+ and CySA+ in two months. I give all the credit to Cybrary. I’m also proud to announce I recently accepted a job as a Cyber Systems Engineer at BDO... I always try to debunk the idea that you can't get a job without experience or a degree."

Casey

Cyber Systems Engineer/BDO

"Cybrary has helped me improve my hands-on skills and pass my toughest certification exams, enabling me to achieve 13 advanced certifications and successfully launch my own business. I love the practice tests for certification exams, especially, and appreciate the wide-ranging training options that let me find the best fit for my goals"
