    4:45 Three Different Roles Within Vulnerability Management:
    - Vulnerability Scanner Operator (semi tech)
    Run scans and make sure it runs successfully
    - Security Analyst - review the vulnerabilities and provide recommendations
    - Compliance Analyst- least tech of them all. Make sure scans were ran on time and make sure vulnerabilities were addressed within the company’s policy (completed within certain days)

      Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.

    I think it is a bit of a misconception that compliance/risk analysis doesn’t require technical skills. You may not be managing systems but you must understand the technical aspects of the enterprise. You are likely going to have to conduct internal audits - almost to Pentesting level. You need to understand what is happening against prescriptive standards like ISO 27002 or PCI/DSS.

    The main reason for the vulnerability scanner phase in Penetration Testing or Red Teaming is to know the target weaknesses in the system and address these weaknesses ASAP. And the target is usually your client. However, suppose you use only the basic tools with untrained staff who don't understand the computer and Network architecture and the basics of cyber security operations. You will lose any future contract with the client, and you are putting other people's data at risk of cyber attacks.

      As soon as he said "No technical skills required," I immediately thought of the Equifax breach when a person with a Masters in music was made the Chief Security Officer.
      Anyone who takes this advice and thinks they'll be put in charge of vulnerability scanning by simply having a certification that, according to this video, only takes a week or even 24 hours, and no technical skills, is absolutely delusional. 11 out of 10 times they'll be stuck in the application phase, companies will always go for someone with a technical background and experience.
      As a matter of fact, it's been nine months since this video was posted. How many people should've gotten their certifications and hired by now, the vulnerability management market must be flooded with candidates at this point.

    I am in a technology audit department at a large bank. I started to laugh once you got to the third role and emphasized how non-technical compliance/risk/audit roles are (laughs)! It is true in comparison to any engineering oriented role, but just so folks are aware, you still have to be somewhat technical (at least understanding conceptually, how computers, networks, interfaces etc. work), have a formal education in some related field of study (information management systems, accounting, etc.) and work your way up from junior to at least senior or manager level before you can command a 6 figure salary (in most cases.. on the other hand, if you work for a cash rich tech firm in a major city in the US, you might be making close to 6 figures with an entry level job, but obviously these roles are competitive and typically targetted towards young professionals fresh out of university). Just some perspective from someone in this field. BUT I have audited Qualys before and had no idea they offered free certifications! I am definitely going to do that. Thanks for the tip @Boyd!
