What is a vulnerability Analyst? This lesser-known cybersecurity career is actually a very interesting one. A Vulnerability Analyst is responsible for performing vulnerability assessments and performing penetration testing. However, a vulnerability analyst has slightly different tasks compared to a penetration tester and in this video, I will showcase what the role of a vulnerability analyst really looks like. If you want to learn more about vulnerability assessments in cybersecurity, I highly recommend the following book: The CARVER Target Analysis and Vulnerability Assessment Methodology: A Practical Guide for Evaluating Security Vulnerabilities* A vulnerability analyst is also often referred to as a vulnerability assessor or vulnerability verification specialist. **We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to and affiliated sites.
