-: In this section of the course, 2 2
we're going to cover specialized technology. 3 3
Now we're going to jump all the way back to domain two, 4 4
vulnerability management, in this section of the course 5 5
and focus on Objectives 2.1 and 2.4. 6 6
Now, Objective 2.1 states that given a scenario, 7 7
you must be able to implement vulnerability scanning methods 8 8
and concepts, 9 9
and Objective 2.4 states that given a scenario, 10 10
you must be able to recommend controls to mitigate attacks 11 11
and software vulnerabilities. 12 12
So, as we move through this section, 13 13
we're going to start out by discussing the different types 14 14
of vulnerabilities that are being based 15 15
on different types of specialization technologies. 16 16
Now, our primary concern in this section 17 17
of the course is going to be 18 18
on things like industrial control systems, 19 19
known as ICS, and supervisory control 20 20
and data acquisition systems, known as SCADA systems. 21 21
But I'm also going to provide you 22 22
with a lot of other information 23 23
about specialized systems, like mobile devices, 24 24
the Internet-of-Things devices, and embedded devices too. 25 25
Then we're going to discuss methods to mitigate 26 26
these different vulnerabilities in these specialized systems 27 27
because it's often so much more complicated 28 28
than simply installing a vendor patch 29 29
like you might on a Windows laptop or server environment. 30 30
Next, we're going to talk 31 31
about premise systems and their vulnerabilities. 32 32
Now, a premise system is any system that's used 33 33
to secure a facility or a building, 34 34
and these systems have their own special considerations 35 35
for us to think 36 36
about when we're trying to secure these devices. 37 37
Then we're going to talk 38 38
about describing vulnerabilities in vehicle-based systems. 39 39
This includes things like drones and bots, 40 40
and even self-driving cars. 41 41
Finally, we're going to take a short quiz 42 42
to see what you learned during this section of the course 43 43
and review each of those quiz questions 44 44
to ensure you can explain why the right answers were right. 45 45
So let's start digging into the world 46 46
of specialized technology in this section of the course.
