EasyChair Preprint 10035

Abstract

Network security professionals face significant challenges in their daily work, from time-consuming repetitive tasks to the difficulty of keeping track of different tools and Information. These challenges can lead miss security threats and vulnerabilities. Inefficient processes can hamper effective network security testing. Addressing this problem requires a tool that can streamline the work of network security professionals. This paper presents an automated security testing service that uses Nuclei to scan web applications and generate detailed security reports. By leveraging docker containerization, the system can run dynamic security scans without false positives, freeing end-users from the burden of manual security testing. Additionally, the system provides a user-friendly interface that allows users to select or create workflows and suggests different modules for creating their own workflow. The automated security testing service is designed to help network security professionals improve the security of their web applications by simplifying and automating the security testing process, saving time and reducing the risk of missed security threats and vulnerabilities.
