In this lesson, students are introduced to the concept of risk assessment, and students learn about the role of vulnerability scans in detecting weaknesses. Students also learn about honeypots and packet sniffing and explore how these tools can be used to detect vulnerabilities and improve the security of a network.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students will identify, assess, and prioritize risks based on their potential impacts. Students will utilize prior knowledge to connect to the concept of prioritizing risks. They will learn new types of vulnerabilities such as input and error handling.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students continue to deepen their understanding of risk assessment. Students learn how to prioritize and respond to different threats by calculating risk, both quantitatively and qualitatively.
Students will be able to:
In this lesson, students learn about penetration testing and how pen tests extend vulnerability scans by attempting to exploit weaknesses in addition to finding them. Students have the opportunity to engage in a pen test simulation as well as learn about the next evolution of pen testing, chaos engineering.
Students will be able to:
