Need guidance for preparing for CIS-Vulnerability Response certification

[ujjwala_678]

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to prepare for the CIS-Vulnerability Response certification, but I haven’t worked on this module so far. I’m a bit confused about what topics I should focus on and which areas from the ServiceNow documentation are most important for the exam.

If anyone who has already appeared for or is currently preparing for this certification could please guide me on:

The key topics or concepts to study

Recommended ServiceNow documentation and learning paths.

Any useful resources or practice materials

It would be a huge help. Thanks in advance! 😇

To prepare for the CIS-Vulnerability Response certification, focus on key concepts like vulnerability scanning, threat intelligence integration, risk scoring, vulnerability lifecycle, patching workflows, and reporting dashboards. Study the ServiceNow Vulnerability Response documentation, particularly modules on Vulnerability Management, integration with Security Operations, and best practices for handling vulnerabilities. Follow the ServiceNow Learning Paths for Security Operations and review any available hands-on labs or practice exercises. Additionally, exploring community blogs, knowledge articles, and past exam outlines can help identify high-priority topics.

Hi @ujjwala_678 

If you're not already familiar with Security Operations on the ServiceNow platform, it's highly advisable to complete the SecOps Fundamentals course before moving onto the CIS-VR course.

FYI, there's also a comprehensive SecOps VR Implementer learning path that covers related topics beyond what you need to know to pass the CIS-VR exam.
