Efficient Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing: A Framework for Automation

Due to a variety of factors, the number of computers connected to the internet has been growing exponentially. The dependence that resulted from this exponential growth has profound cybersecurity consequences. The main implication is that cybercrime is increasing exponentially, making vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT) necessary. Penetration testing and vulnerability assessment can balance any responsibility connected with a successful attack on an organization's assets. The present frameworks and tools for VAPT are primarily manual and demand very high specialist knowledge. Additionally, several systems on the market only automate specific VAPT processes, not the entire procedure. This discrepancy offers the chance to develop a solution by fully automating the procedure while minimizing the required level of knowledge. As a result, this paper offers an updated automated system for usage by both beginners and cybersecurity experts. Additionally, it offers a framework for business use that makes use of multi-agent systems and some elements of full stack monitoring.
