In this foundational module, you will gain hands-on experience installing, configuring, and navigating OpenVAS, an open-source vulnerability scanning platform. The module begins with an introduction to vulnerability assessment and the OpenVAS framework, including its architecture, core components, and role in cybersecurity defense. You will explore the OpenVAS interface, synchronize feed data, and set up scan targets and credentials. Further, you will build and run your first vulnerability scans in a virtual lab environment. By the end of the module, you will be able to navigate the OpenVAS interface, configure scans, and execute basic vulnerability assessments. This module lays the technical groundwork for deeper analysis and incident response activities in later modules.

This module builds your ability to interpret and act on vulnerability scan results using OpenVAS. You’ll learn to navigate scan reports, understand key metrics, and apply the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) to assess the severity of identified threats. The module emphasizes real-world practices by guiding you through risk prioritization techniques and remediation planning strategies used in professional cybersecurity environments. Through interactive labs, you’ll analyze actual scan data, weigh mitigation options, and propose effective fixes based on asset value, threat intelligence, and exploitability. By the end of the module, you'll be equipped to turn technical findings into actionable security improvements that reduce risk and enhance organizational resilience. This critical skill set prepares you to contribute meaningfully to incident response teams and vulnerability management efforts.
