What you'll learn

Pluralsight is not an official partner or accredited training center of EC-Council. One reason for security compromises is the lack of continuous monitoring to ensure assets are adequately protected. You need to know which organization assets require the most protection, but protection is only possible if you understand the threats. This course, Risks, Vulnerabilities, and Threats, will give you the skills needed to identify risks, to understand how malware and other malicious attacks are executed, and how to put effective security controls in place. When you're finished this course, you'll also know how to conduct periodic vulnerability scans in Windows and Linux to keep up with changing threats.
