Course Description

The Internet Scanner application provides automated network vulnerability assessment across servers, desktops, and infrastructure devices. Internet Scanner performs distributed or event-driven probes of network services, operating systems, routers/switches, servers, firewalls, and application routers to identify potential risks. Internet Scanner provides clear, concise risk management reports plus remediation advice and comprehensive trend analyses to support policy enforcement.

The Internet Scanner training course introduces concepts, frameworks, methodologies and strategies that are effective in successfully using the Internet Scanner SP 2 product. The course focuses on hands-on training supported by slide presentations, demonstrations, and lectures. The course starts with a general security and product overview. After developing an understanding of Internet Scanner and how it works in securing the network, the student installs and configures Internet Scanner, develops scanning strategies, creates and modifies polices to fine-tune scans, and runs and analyzes reports. The student then installs a SiteProtector console and learns how to work with Internet Scanner functionality within SiteProtector.
