This course provides a practical introduction to Vulnerability Assessment (VA), a critical component of cybersecurity and risk management. Learners will understand how to identify, analyze, and prioritize security weaknesses in networks, systems, and web applications before they can be exploited by attackers.

The course covers the fundamentals of vulnerability scanning, common security flaws, and the use of industry-standard tools to assess security posture. Students will gain hands-on insight into detecting misconfigurations, outdated software, and other vulnerabilities, as well as how to interpret scan results and recommend effective remediation strategies.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to conduct basic vulnerability assessments, understand risk ratings, and contribute to improving an organization’s overall security.
