Course Description
With the growing number of cyber attacks, system invasions, data theft, malware attacks such as Ransomware among others, vulnerability management to prevent invasions and ensure information security has become an indispensable task for IT professionals and organizations in general. In addition to implementing security mechanisms to protect oneself, it is necessary to know the vulnerabilities and deal with them. The issue of vulnerability management is so serious that even in the phase of a penetration test or cyber attack, the phase that precedes the invasion, is the discovery of vulnerabilities, i.e. when an attacker wants to attack a system, he will need to know the vulnerabilities and after knowing them, exploit them. Therefore, in this course you will have the opportunity to learn how to find the vulnerabilities in systems, find solutions, and elaborate a mitigation plan for them and implement countermeasures with the best practices guide according to the Center for Internet Security (CIS Control Set), an entity that works to support organizations to implement best practices for asset management and data backup. It is important to know how vulnerability scanners work for better positioning when it comes to decision making after analysis. After completing this course, you will be able to implement and manage OpenVas as well as assign tickets to the different people responsible for each department where vulnerabilities are detected as well as to IT professionals.

This part is very good especially cloud part very very good
By Michael L Tharp on 12/20/2024
I could see this being very useful for a home environment with a lot of IoT hardware and network devices
By Miguel Rodriguez on 8/14/2024
We are going into only the Greenbone GUI instead of the workings of OpenVas or how to run the solution from CLI/API, which many organizations do. Perhaps I am not far enough in the training but equivalent management from CLI would be beneficial, if not necessary for many organizations.
By Kim Nguyen on 10/18/2023
This course instructs you all necessary basic knowledge of Openvas. However, troubleshoot of setting or installing openvas, mail server is not detail enough to get the lab ready. This course is not simple for beginner to hand on Openvas. Thank instructor very much to create this course to introduce openvas, especially the cloud GOS.

Precisely explained all interface functions and related matters with risk analysis. Knowledge gained from this course will be useful for further development audits of our systems.

He is doing an awesome job of going through all the menus and describing how to use things or what they could be used for.
By Dave Kenny on 1/12/2022
There is a lot of content within this course, each topic is broken down and categorised making the course a good source of reference material for later review if you need it. I think this course is an excellent value for money.
