Individual skill
building-vulnerability-scanning-workflow
Builds a structured vulnerability scanning workflow using tools like Nessus, Qualys, and OpenVAS to discover, prioritize, and track remediation of security vulnerabilities across infrastructure. Use when SOC teams need to establish recurring vulnerability assessment processes, integrate scan results with SIEM alerting, and build remediation tracking dashboards.

# Building Vulnerability Scanning Workflow
## When to Use
Use this skill when:
- SOC teams need to establish or improve recurring vulnerability scanning programs
- Scan results require prioritization beyond raw CVSS scores using asset context and threat intelligence
- Vulnerability data must be integrated into SIEM for correlation with exploitation attempts
- Remediation tracking needs formalization with SLA-based dashboards and reporting
**Do not use** for penetration testing or active exploitation — vulnerability scanning identifies weaknesses, penetration testing validates exploitability.
## Prerequisites
- Vulnerability scanner (Tenable Nessus Professional, Qualys VMDR, or OpenVAS/Greenbone)
