Abstract

In this paper, we present an approach for detection of vulnerabilities in network systems, using autonomous applications. The main aim is to enable the dynamic, intelligent and autonomous detection of vulnerabilities and exposures in systems and to make it available to network administrators. Our approach will reduce the amount of data sent to network administrators by currently used tools, and therefore present only relevant information preprocessed by our application, which by it self can bring a natural enhancement to the performance of the network overall security.
