30-Minutes to a Less Vulnerable Network: How to Start or Improve Your Vulnerability Management Program
By reading this blog post, you’ve been invited to StormWind Studio’s upcoming QuickCast: 30-minutes to a Less Vulnerable Network with Mike Vasquez. This QuickCast is exclusive to IT professionals.
Vulnerability management is an essential element of creating a secure networking environment. Join Mike Vasquez, Senior Technical Instructor at StormWind Studios, as we discuss vulnerability management and tools for companies of all sizes.
Learn how to make your system less vulnerable and more secure with this short QuickCast. In typical StormWind fashion, we skip the boring 1-hour PowerPoint webcast and give you an Epic Live, action-packed session in 30-minutes or less.
We’ll dig deep into the operation of a typical vulnerability scanner, OpenVAS, from OpenVAS.org. We’ll examine the results of a scan and discuss the handling of false positives and negatives.
During this QuickCast we will:
- Review vulnerability management techniques from an author of ISC2’s 2018 CISSP CBK
- Identify the best tools to use to scan for vulnerabilities, the more accurate, the better
- Discuss how to analyze the results of a scan for false positives and negatives
- Examine OpenVAS and how to implement it into your vulnerability management program
This QuickCast is for you if:
- You’re an IT Manager responsible for the security management of a system
- You’re a Network Manager or Admin who performs security tasks
- You’re an IT professional (aka IT warrior) concerned about the security of your systems and the prevalence of recent hacks and breaches
Bonus:
All LIVE attendees are entered for a chance to win a Super Nintendo Entertainment System Classic Edition!
Too busy to attend live?
We’ll miss you desperately, your questions, your anecdotes . . . but, we know you might be a little busy as an IT warrior. If you have to miss all this great content, be sure to register so we can send you the recording.
