Course Overview

Technology continues to evolve more rapidly than ever, making it essential for enterprises to continuously update their cybersecurity policies. Cyber attackers are no longer targeting only large corporations—small and medium-sized businesses have become equally vulnerable to sophisticated threats such as ransomware. Unfortunately, many organizations are still unprepared to handle or recover from such incidents, emphasizing the urgent need for proactive threat and vulnerability management.

In this course, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of threat and vulnerability management. We begin by introducing the core components of a complete vulnerability assessment and provide hands-on guidance for developing a robust defensive strategy from day one. The course focuses on empowering information security professionals in midsize to large organizations to effectively and efficiently secure hundreds or even thousands of systems. Through practical instruction and real-world examples, you’ll learn how to identify, assess, and mitigate vulnerabilities to strengthen organizational defenses.

By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid foundation in the vulnerability management lifecycle—from identifying and ranking security issues to recommending and implementing remediation measures. You’ll also understand how to apply these strategies to prevent future security breaches and improve your organization’s overall security posture.
