Prioritization and Risk Assessment Course
1 hour, 11 minutes
Course description
This course focuses on the most important parts of the vulnerability assessment process — vulnerability prioritization and risk evaluation. We will be incorporating inputs from various systems and databases for threat intelligence to assign priority to the discovered vulnerabilities. With that priority-based approach, the most critical issues posing the biggest threats are assessed and addressed first. Risk assessment is covered in depth, using a structured and customizable process for deriving accurate risk scores.Syllabus
