- Title
CYBERSECURITY VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS VIA VIRTUALIZATION.
- Authors
Savaglia, Jorge; Ping Wang
- Abstract
Cybersecurity has become a significant issue for users and organizations. Penetration testing by scanning computer networks and systems to identify and analyze cybersecurity vulnerabilities is essential to defending the networks and systems against cyber threats and attacks. It is ideal to conduct such tests, scans, and analysis in a virtualized or simulated environment to minimize interruptions and security risks to live production networks and systems. This paper presents simulated vulnerability test scans and analysis using a virtualized network lab environment to demonstrate the effectiveness and benefits of virtualization in cybersecurity testing. The paper also discusses important implications for cybersecurity workforce training and preparation.
