Even the most locked-down environments can be open to attack if there are vulnerabilities in software applications deployed in the same enterprise. Identifying and mitigating these types of risks takes continual vigilance.

This practice quiz tests your knowledge of key concepts and vocabulary tested in Domain 6, such as spotting vulnerabilities in software, understanding their potential consequences and evaluation criteria for such risks.
