This beginner-friendly course introduces you to the fundamentals of vulnerability assessment in cybersecurity. You will learn what vulnerabilities are, how they are discovered, and why regular assessments are critical for protecting networks, systems, and applications.

The course starts with core concepts such as risk identification, asset discovery, and threat evaluation. You will understand how vulnerabilities are documented using the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) system and how severity is measured using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) framework.

Hands-on demonstrations introduce popular scanning tools such as Nmap for network discovery, OpenVAS for vulnerability scanning, and Nessus for professional assessments. You will learn how to run basic scans, analyze reports, identify false positives, and prioritize remediation steps.

By the end of this tutorial, you will have a solid foundation in vulnerability assessment processes and be ready to continue your journey into penetration testing or security analysis. This course is ideal for students, IT professionals, and aspiring cybersecurity beginners.
