What you'll learn

Running a vulnerability scan is the easy part. Knowing what to scan, how to read the wall of results that comes back, and how to explain it all to people who don't speak "CVE" is where most analysts get stuck. In this course, CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-004): Vulnerability Scanning, Analysis, and Reporting, you'll gain the ability to plan and run vulnerability scans, prioritize what's actually worth fixing, and report your findings in a way stakeholders actually understand. First, you'll explore how to inventory assets and plan a scan that won't tank your network or get you in trouble with compliance. Next, you'll discover the different scan types and baseline frameworks available, and when to use each one. Finally, you'll learn how to score and prioritize vulnerabilities using CVSS and EPSS, validate that fixes actually worked, and build reports that turn raw scan data into action. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of vulnerability scanning, analysis, and reporting needed to keep your organization's attack surface in check and keep leadership in the loop.
