NUVER: Network Based Vulnerability Visualizer

The deluge of attacks on IT infrastructure has necessitated the understanding of cybersecurity vulnerabilities for mitigation. A two-step novel model is developed to harness the time-stamped data to analyze the vulnerability trends. In the first step of the model, a text network is created from the vulnerability report. A software is constructed that analyzes vulnerabilities by leveraging natural language processing and network theory. The network theoretic study provides details of the complex relationships between vulnerabilities. The visualizations from the tool provide information for security researchers for an in-depth study of vulnerabilities.
