Analyze the vulnerability detection/discovery and vulnerability remediation/patching processes of the Security Operations Centre with the focus on using automation tooling to minimize time from detection to reporting. Analyze the environment of a research and education institution and its specifics in requirements on vulnerability discovery. Review free and open-source tools for vulnerability scanning, both for general weakness detection and for profile-based vulnerability discovery, and assess their performance in a heterogeneous research and education environment, with the distinction between asset discovery and vulnerability discovery phases. Focus on the Nuclei vulnerability scanner and design a methodology for curated profile management and template development process including testing and integration. Implement the devised processes in a controlled manner in the CSIRT-MU constituency, perform measurements and discuss results.
