Cybersecurity failures have become increasingly detrimental to organizations worldwide, impacting their finances, operations, and reputation. This issue is worsened by the scarcity of cybersecurity professionals. Moreover, the specialization required for cybersecurity expertise is both costly and time-consuming. In light of these challenges, this study has concentrated on automating cybersecurity processes, particularly those pertaining to continuous vulnerability detection. A cybersecurity vulnerability scanner was developed, which is freely available to the community and does not necessitate any prior expertise from the operator. The effectiveness of this tool was evaluated by IT companies and systems engineers, some of whom had no background in cybersecurity. The findings indicate that the scanner proved to be efficient, precise, and easy to use. It assisted the operators in safeguarding their systems in an automated fashion, as part of their security audit strategy.

Events related to cybersecurity failures have a high and growing financial, operational, and reputational impact, on organizations around the world. At the same time, there is a shortage of cybersecurity professionals. In addition, the specialization of professionals with the necessary skills in the area of cybersecurity is expensive and time-consuming. Taking these facts into consideration, this research has focused on the automation of cybersecurity processes, specifically those related to continuous vulnerability detection. To address this problem, a cybersecurity vulnerability scanner that is free to the community and requires no pre-expertise on the part of the operator, was developed. The artifact was tested by companies in the IT business, by systems engineers, most without cybersecurity background. The results demonstrated that the artifact was easy to install and that the reported results can be used by the operator in the context of an automatic and proactive securitization of the systems involved.
