Part 1: Evaluate the Value of Symmetric and Asymmetric Key Encryption and Their Combination

Complete the learning and further Internet research to describe the differences and reasons that there is a role for both symmetric and asymmetric approaches to encryption keys. In addition, identify how these techniques are used in networking and defending against threats, including the combination of the two. Provide no fewer than two different Internet sources to support your description and specific examples.

Response should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. It should follow formal writing and APA citations and references. Length should be between 300 to 500 words

Part 2: Evaluate Options and Approaches to Testing Software and Vulnerabilities

One part of testing software is to understand if there are any vulnerabilities. Review the capabilities of the different Nessus tools from Tenables website and identify the groups of tests that you might deploy when testing software and systems. Be sure to expand your review to all options so that you can move beyond manual testing on demand, moving to ongoing and consolidated results. To achieve this, review all of the Nessus links; however, you do not need to download software. Now compare these in the light of needing to test new software and the critical security controls. Note the mention of Tenable on the second page.

Your objective is to provide a response that can provide an understanding of the Tenable range of solutions and testing new software for security objectives. Length 750 to 1200 words not including title and reference pages
