This lesson

This lesson teaches Vulnerability Management (Preview): security mindset, common threats, and defensive practices for software teams.

Teams apply Vulnerability Management (Preview) in every serious Cybersecurity rollout—skipping it leaves blind spots in reviews and incidents.

You will apply Vulnerability Management (Preview) in contexts like: Web apps, APIs, CI/CD, and organizational compliance programs.

Read scenario-based lessons, map controls to code you write on other tracks, and complete MCQs—practice threat modeling on paper or in docs.

When you can explain the previous lesson's ideas in your own words.

Software has CVEs—known vulnerabilities with scores (CVSS). Process: discover, prioritize, patch, verify.

Sources

Dependency scanners (npm audit, pip-audit, Dependabot), container scans, quarterly pen tests.

Exploitability + exposure (internet-facing) + asset criticality—not all CVEs need immediate weekend work.

Q: Zero-day?
A: Unknown vulnerability with no patch yet—compensating controls matter.
Q: SLA?
A: Critical internet-facing patch in days; internal tools may differ.

Tip: Enable Dependabot/Renovate—do not ignore lockfile PRs forever.
