Looking to develop a vulnerability management program that’s as live as your network? Geared toward security professionals who have little to no InsightVM experience, this two-day interactive class, led by a Rapid7 Security Consultant, will walk you through some basic to intermediate product features, best security practices, and techniques for scanning various devices within a typical network environment.
For flexible and accessible learning, this course is offered both virtually and on-site at your facility. The virtual class is hosted remotely on a Rapid7 lab and features simulated exercises against multiple scenario-driven target environments. Customers who participate in on-site trainings will apply their learned skills in hands-on scenarios in their own environment.
All participants will have access to the InsightVM Certified Administrator Exam as part of their training program; go from being the student to the master and leverage the knowledge gained from class to become certified.
