In the evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the effective identification and assessment of vulnerabilities within IT infrastructures have become paramount. This bachelor thesis presents the development of a Vulnerability Assessment Tool, designed to streamline the process of detecting, categorizing, and prioritizing vulnerabilities in computer systems. While the tool's primary focus is on Unix-based systems, its adaptable framework allows for potential expansion to other operating systems, catering to a diverse range of IT environments and systems.
The tool aims to automate the process of vulnerability scanning, leveraging up-to-date information from established vulnerability databases and common areas of exploitation. It is designed to be user-friendly, enabling IT personnel to efficiently manage vulnerability assessments across multiple systems. By offering features such comprehensive and centralized reporting, real time risk scanning/handling, the tool serves as an asset for organizations seeking to bolster their cybersecurity approach and current procedures.
The core part of this project is the ability to manage and help secure a large-scale IT infrastructure with many systems through a management/web panel. The tool is developed with a keen eye on the requirements of modern IT infrastructures, ensuring compatibility, scalability, and ease of integration.
This thesis not only contributes a practical tool to the field of cybersecurity but also provides an in-depth analysis of the current landscape of vulnerability assessment. Through this work, it aims to enhance the understanding of vulnerability management processes and underscore the importance of proactive security measures in the digital age.
