Vulnerability Management: Harbor Point Financial
Vulnerability management fails far more often from poor prioritization and unclear ownership than from missing tools. Your job in this lab is to turn an unusable 41,000-row export into a short, defensible list of what to fix first, get it owned, and prove the risk actually came down. That is the whole job, and it is what an interviewer will ask you to describe.
Hands-on labs. A final exam & capstone. A real role.
You finish with a portfolio you can show, a cumulative exam, and the skills to land the Vulnerability Analyst role.
