Managing IT infrastructure is a massive challenge. With firewalls, routers, and wireless systems to maintain, how do you know when a specific device has a security flaw? CBT Nuggets trainer Jeff Kish breaks down CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures), a free, searchable database that helps IT teams identify known threats across software, hardware, and firmware before they become organizational risk.

He also covers how to go beyond the CVE list using NIST's National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), so your team can prioritize what needs to be patched now versus what can wait for scheduled maintenance.

Whether you're managing a team of 5 or 50, staying ahead of vulnerabilities is a critical part of keeping your organization secure. 🌐 *Get your IT Team trained — request a demo today:* training.cbt.gg/getdemo
