DefectDojo is an open-source platform for comprehensive vulnerability management. It aggregates findings from over 200 security scanners (e.g., Nessus, ZAP), automatically deduplicates results, and provides detailed dashboards for tracking remediation progress. It integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines, Jira for ticketing, and Slack for notifications, making it ideal for automated security reporting and compliance tracking in a DevSecOps environment.

This workflow guides SOC teams in establishing a comprehensive, structured process for vulnerability management. It utilizes major scanning tools (Nessus, Qualys, OpenVAS) to discover, prioritize, and track remediation of security weaknesses across the infrastructure. It integrates threat intelligence (CISA KEV) and asset criticality into risk scoring, ensuring resources are focused on the most critical threats.

This guide details how to perform authenticated (credentialed) vulnerability scans using industry-leading tools like Nessus, Qualys, and OpenVAS. By utilizing service credentials (SSH, SMB, WinRM, SNMPv3), the scan moves beyond superficial banner checks to deeply inspect installed patches, configurations, and local system settings on Linux, Windows, and network devices. This is crucial for detecting vulnerabilities that unauthenticated scans often miss, significantly improving security assessment accuracy.

A comprehensive guide simulating real-world attacks against internet-facing infrastructure (firewalls, web servers, DNS, etc.). It covers the entire penetration testing lifecycle, including passive and active reconnaissance, vulnerability scanning (using tools like Nmap, Nessus, and Nuclei), manual validation, and simulated exploitation, adhering to standards like PTES and OSSTMM.

This comprehensive guide details the process of performing authenticated and unauthenticated vulnerability assessments using Tenable Nessus. It covers everything from advanced scan configuration (port discovery, credentialing, plugin setup) to detailed result analysis, including cross-referencing CVEs and prioritizing remediation based on CVSS scores and exploit availability. Ideal for compliance auditing, penetration testing, and maintaining system patch compliance.

A comprehensive guide detailing the use of Tenable Nessus, an industry-leading vulnerability scanner. Learn how to configure advanced scan policies, perform both authenticated and unauthenticated scans across servers, network devices, and web applications. This skill covers end-to-end processes from execution to result analysis and reporting.
