CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst+: Vulnerability & Penetration Testing

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Vulnerability scanning identifies host and network vulnerabilities and must be an ongoing task. Penetration testing is an active security method by which there is an attempt to exploit discovered vulnerabilities. In this course, you will discover how to plan for, schedule, and execute vulnerability assessments, identify common vulnerability scanning tools, and conduct an nmap scan. Next, you will use Nessus and Zenmap to execute security scans and text web app security using the OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) tool. Then you will explore penetration testing and the Metasploit framework and use the Burp Suite tool as an HTTP intermediary proxy. Finally, you will learn how to manage Azure policy, investigate potential indicators of compromise, and examine how IT security relates to industrial control systems. This course can be used to prepare for the CS0-003: CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst+ exam.
