-: In this section of the course 2 2
we're going to cover mitigating vulnerabilities. 3 3
Again, we're going to stay here in Domain 2, 4 4
Vulnerability Management and Domain 4, 5 5
Reporting and Communication 6 6
during this section of the course 7 7
it'll be focused on objectives 2.1, 2.5, and 4.1. 8 8
Now, objective 2.1 states 9 9
that given a scenario you must be able to implement 10 10
vulnerability scanning methods and concepts. 11 11
Objective, 2.5 states that you must be able to explain 12 12
concepts related to vulnerability response, 13 13
handling, and management. 14 14
And objective 4.1 states 15 15
that you must be able to explain the importance 16 16
of vulnerability management, reporting, and communication. 17 17
Now, as we begin to move through this section 18 18
we're going to start out by discussing the remediation 19 19
and mitigation plans for a given network 20 20
and the concept of risk acceptance 21 21
within your own organization. 22 22
Then we'll discuss how to create a baseline configuration 23 23
for your systems and your networks. 24 24
Next, once we have that baseline created, 25 25
we're also going to discuss the concept 26 26
of system hardening and patching 27 27
so that we can better understand how this applies 28 28
to our networks as a whole. 29 29
Then we'll describe the various inhibitors to remediation 30 30
that you may be faced with inside of your organization 31 31
whether those are technically based 32 32
or organizational cultural issues 33 33
that you're going to have to work through. 34 34
We're also going to talk about the different outside forces 35 35
that may impact you, such as regulations, 36 36
because these may force you to remediate issues 37 37
and vulnerabilities in certain ways 38 38
due to the laws in your country or your region. 39 39
Finally, we're going to take a short quiz 40 40
to see what you learned during the section of the course 41 41
and review each of those quiz questions fully 42 42
to ensure you can explain 43 43
why the correct answers were correct. 44 44
So let's go ahead and get started mitigating vulnerabilities 45 45
in this section of the course.
