- What is Vulnerability Management (VM)?
- Importance in cybersecurity frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001, CIS)
- VM lifecycle: Identify → Evaluate → Treat → Report
- Types of vulnerabilities (software, hardware, configuration)
- Lab/Project: Set up a lab with virtual machines and basic scanning tools (e.g., Nessus Essentials)
- Overview of popular tools: Nessus, Qualys, OpenVAS, Rapid7
- Types of scanning: authenticated vs. unauthenticated, internal vs. external
- Scanning methodologies and frequency
- Lab/Project: Conduct a scan on a sample network using Nessus or OpenVAS
- Understanding scan outputs: CVEs, CVSS scores, risk ratings
- Identifying false positives and redundant findings
- Prioritizing vulnerabilities based on impact and likelihood
- Lab/Project: Analyze scan results and produce a vulnerability report
- Vulnerability vs. misconfiguration vs. missing patches
- Patch lifecycle and scheduling strategies
- Remediation coordination with IT/DevOps teams
- Mitigation techniques when patching isn’t possible
- Lab/Project: Simulate a patch deployment and validation
- Risk assessment models and risk scoring (CVSS v3, etc.)
- Asset classification and business impact analysis
- Developing a risk-based remediation plan
- Lab/Project: Create a risk-based prioritization matrix for vulnerabilities
- Integrating VM with SIEM, SOAR, and ITSM (e.g., Splunk, ServiceNow)
- API access and automation use cases
- Using VM data for compliance (PCI-DSS, HIPAA, etc.)
- Lab/Project: Create a ticketing workflow for high-risk vulnerabilities
- Reporting for different audiences: technical, management, compliance
- Key metrics: time to patch, open vulnerabilities, remediation SLAs
- Continuous improvement via feedback loops
- Lab/Project: Build an executive dashboard using scan data
- Establishing governance and ownership
- Policy and procedures for VM
- Audit-readiness and documentation
- Final exam or case study
- Capstone Project: Develop a complete Vulnerability Management Plan for a simulated organization
It is a structured program that teaches how to identify, assess, prioritize, and remediate security vulnerabilities in IT systems using tools, best practices, and real-world scenarios.
This training is ideal for cybersecurity professionals, system administrators, network engineers, security analysts, and anyone involved in IT security or compliance.
Basic understanding of networking, operating systems, and IT security concepts is helpful but not mandatory. The course is beginner-friendly.
You’ll get hands-on experience with tools like Nessus, OpenVAS, Qualys, Rapid7, and learn how to interpret and act on scan data.
The training duration is about 8 weeks, with weekly sessions combining theory, live demos and practical lab work.
Yes, the course includes practical labs, real-world simulations and projects using scanning tools and virtual environments.
Yes, participants who complete all course modules and assessments will receive a Certificate of Completion from Checkmate IT tech.
