In the Vulnerability and Risk Assessment unit, you’ll learn how to conduct vulnerability assessments and remediation for both network and host-based vulnerabilities. This also includes conducting application penetration tests. Assignments in this unit will allow you to explore real-world vulnerability incidents, design a data loss-protection plan, and develop a vulnerability management and remediation program. Labs in this unit will give you another slice of the red-team world, taking you through attacking web servers, exploiting a vulnerable web application, and cracking passwords.
