Automation of information system vulnerability testing | Generation of scan reports that are understandable to non-technical users (decision-makers). Support for decision-making

Information systems are tools used to organize business processes. In the case of businesses, when properly structured, they enable companies to manage their operations efficiently [Souleymanou 14]. As organizations become increasingly dependent on technology and introduce additional electronic systems and software to support various operations, the rate of exposure to and exploitation of software vulnerabilities continues to rise. This highlights the major challenge that information system security (ISS) represents today in terms of protecting organizational assets. As a result, every organization today would like to be assured that its IT environment is secure. One of the methods involved in this security process is to comprehensively identify the security vulnerabilities of said environment. This is what is known as a "vulnerability test."
