WGU- Emerging Technologies in Cybersecurity C844
This class mainly focuses on security and vulnerability, having Security+ also helps. There’s no need to read the course material. Some of the main things to focus on are network weaknesses, ports, protocols, BYOD and MDM in an enterprise environment.

Task 1:
For this task, you’ll be using Nmap and Wireshark to find vulnerabilities on the network. There’s a target box in Zenmap, search for the /24 IP address, you’ll be presented with a scan. My scan was a star topology, take a screenshot of the scan and save it. Do the same thing for Wireshark. You only need to find 2-3 vulnerabilities, to find the vulnerabilities focus on each host, their operating system, and ports. Once you find the vulnerabilities describe why they are problematic and why they need to be patched. As for Wireshark I strongly recommend FTP and Telnet and provide details on why these protocols are problematic.

Task 2:
This task is easier than Task 1, you’ll be provided with a case study. Go over the case study, find the vulnerabilities, and provide mitigation steps, preventative measures, and solutions. It’s important to be familiar with NIST publications, some examples of laws and regulations to include would be CFAA, ECPA, Electronic Privacy Act, the PCI DSS, SOX, GLBA and other security breach acts. Whichever vulnerabilities you find you’ll need to include one or two of those regulations that goes with it.
