What is it?

Edgescan’s Training Advice insight analyzes recurring/systemic vulnerability patterns across your environment to identify skill gaps within development, infrastructure, and security teams. It then recommends targeted training programs to address these gaps, helping organizations strengthen long-term security resilience.

How does it work?

  • Challenge Identification
    AI Insights processes validated vulnerability data and highlights consistent weaknesses across assets.

  • Thematic Grouping
    Vulnerabilities are grouped into key technical challenge areas, such as web application security, outdated software, cryptographic implementation issues, and critical infrastructure flaws.

  • Skill Gap Detection
    By identifying repeated vulnerability types, the system pinpoints areas where additional training would improve team effectiveness.

  • Training Recommendation
    Tailored training programs are suggested to directly address the root causes of recurring vulnerabilities.

Common Technical Challenge Areas

  • Web Application Security: XSS, SQL injection, CSRF, and authentication/authorization flaws.

  • Outdated Software & Legacy Systems: Unsupported operating systems, outdated web servers, and legacy applications.

  • Cryptographic Weaknesses: Use of TLS 1.0/SSL v2/v3, weak cipher suites, missing HSTS enforcement.

  • Critical Infrastructure Vulnerabilities: Remote code execution (e.g., BlueKeep), database security flaws, Log4Shell exposure.

Recommended Training Programs

  • Secure Web Application Development
    Focus on OWASP Top 10 mitigations, secure authentication, and API security practices.

  • Modern TLS/SSL Implementation
    Training on current cryptographic best practices, secure headers, and certificate management.

  • Legacy System Security Management
    Strategies for risk assessment, compensating controls, and migration from end-of-life technologies.

  • DevSecOps Fundamentals
    Integration of automated security testing, secure CI/CD pipelines, and vulnerability management workflows.

  • Mobile Application Security
    Training on secure data storage, certificate pinning, and preventing client-side attacks.

Features & Benefits

  • Targeted Upskilling: Training aligns with actual vulnerabilities identified in your environment.

  • Reduced Recurrence: Addresses root causes of repeated security issues through education.

  • Efficient Investment: Focuses training budgets on areas with measurable risk reduction impact.

  • Long-Term Resilience: Builds a security-aware development and operations culture.

  • Compliance Alignment: Supports requirements for ongoing security training in standards like PCI DSS and ISO 27001.

Common Use-Cases

  • Development Team Enablement: Equip developers to prevent recurring web application vulnerabilities.

  • Infrastructure Hardening: Improve skills for managing TLS, patching legacy systems, and securing critical services.

  • Security Program Maturity: Evolve from reactive patching to proactive prevention through education.

  • Audit Readiness: Demonstrate a structured training program tied to real-world vulnerability data.

  • Culture of Security: Embed security champions within teams to sustain secure practices.
