  There are several tools available for identifying systems present on a network before conducting vulnerability tests .  One such tool is the Nessus Vulnerability Scanner. Nessus is a widely used vulnerability scanner that can identify IT assets, web applications, and cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities . It is designed to assess the modern attack surface and can be used to extend beyond traditional IT assets. Nessus is trusted by thousands of organizations worldwide and is considered the gold standard for vulnerability assessment. I like this tool because it helps network administrators access organizational threats .

  The  Application layer  is the seventh and highest layer of the OSI and TCP/IP models. It specifies the shared communication protocols and interface methods hosts use in a communications network. The protocols in the Application layer are responsible for providing services to the user, such as file transfer, email, and web browsing.

  The CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) certification is a globally recognized certification that validates the skills required to perform cybersecurity analysis and response. The certificate is valid for three years from the exam date, after which it can be renewed through the   continuing education (CE) program.   ISO/ANSI accredits the CySA+ certification and meets the U.S. Department of Defense requirements. The certificate is designed to equip cybersecurity professionals with the necessary skills to identify and respond to security threats and vulnerabilities in real-world scenarios. Professionals must stay updated with the latest technologies and trends as the cybersecurity industry evolves . The CySA+ certification is a great way to demonstrate your knowledge and expertise in the field of cybersecurity and stay ahead of the curve.
