Overview
The next part of your training manual will focus on vulnerability assessment. A vulnerability assessment is the testing process used to identify and assign severity levels to as many security defects as possible in a given timeframe. Continue the development of your training manual with an overview of the assigned topic and a summary of functions and capabilities. Demonstrate your implementation with corresponding screenshots from your labs (when applicable).
Prompt
Now it is time to create your training manual section on assessing the vulnerability of a network. This process may involve automated and manual techniques with varying degrees using a risk-based approach. Continue using the Training Manual Template document to develop the section on vulnerability assessment.
For each section of the training manual, develop guidelines for employees to select and employ specific software, tools, and methods to address the elements of the section topic. Your guidelines serve as recommendations of specific tools and criteria for determining when to use these tools.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Illustrate the proper implementation of port scanning, device scanning, and penetration testing and detection for conducting vulnerability assessments.
Explain how to interpret the output of a vulnerability scan to identify weaknesses.
What to Submit
Fill in Section Four of the Training Manual Template document. This section contains two main parts with additional subtopics related to detecting intrusions. This section should address best practices and tools and methodologies for assessing network vulnerability. For this assignment, you must follow these formatting guidelines: 12-point Times New Roman font and APA references and citations.
