Classification of Security for System Vulnerabilities

Abstract

The result of this publication is a presentation of a risk assessment and monitoring tool in computer systems at the network infrastructure, operating systems and applications level. The utility uses data from the Nessus Vulnerability Scanner and a database of publicly known NVD computer vulnerabilities. The main goal was to create a functional software application that, based on input data, would provide user-friendly system risk assessment results that were reproducibly measurable and comparable. The final application was created on the Linux platform, but thanks to the multiplatform programming languages used it is executable on all known platforms.
