- Evidence: produce a triage note with severity rationale and explain the validation result
M 10Dashboards, reports and stakeholder metrics
- Explain Dashboards, reports and stakeholder metrics using current Tenable terminology and connect it to the Tenable Vulnerability Management architecture
- Practice: tune a noisy control without removing required visibility for Dashboards, reports and stakeholder metrics
- Evidence: produce a tuning record with before-and-after evidence and explain the validation result
M 11APIs, integrations and operational troubleshooting
- Explain APIs, integrations and operational troubleshooting using current Tenable terminology and connect it to the Tenable Vulnerability Management architecture
- Practice: troubleshoot a production-style failure using an evidence-first workflow for APIs, integrations and operational troubleshooting
- Evidence: produce a troubleshooting runbook entry and explain the validation result
M 12Risk-based remediation capstone
- Explain Risk-based remediation capstone using current Tenable terminology and connect it to the Tenable Vulnerability Management architecture
- Practice: combine design, validation, operations and handover in the capstone for Risk-based remediation capstone
- Evidence: produce a concise capstone handover and portfolio artifact and explain the validation result
