- Have basic knowledge of application architecture. That is, different methods of implementing security in an application, how applications can be designed in three layers, what applications can do, the interaction between applications and the database, and interactions between the database and the platform or operating system.
- Have knowledge about network security tools. For example, sniffer and port scanning. Must understand how they should be used.
- Be able to use patch management systems.
