Abstract

Nowadays, technology has an important role of our life, including smart devices, social media due to the importance of security and web for interaction so it has become targeted it by cybercriminal. The growing threat of cybersecurity has prompted the kingdom to pay more attention to its national cybersecurity strategy as the state embarks on a Vision 2030 plan, which aims to diversify the economy and create new jobs. Therefore, Web Applications are always having security threats, which considered as a big problem. Several steps introduced successful analysis of vulnerabilities in web applications. There are no efficient and easy to use tools for the security assessment of such applications. This paves the way for hackers to easily attack. In this paper, we recommend an efficient method to assess the vulnerability using Python, which can used to conduct Vulnerability Assessment on web applications. This work will be useful for organizations and programmers to keep their information and applications more secure and viable for usage in sensitive environments.

Highlights

This Since the beginning of the web in 1989 and expansion of the internet widely to facilitate life fields such as education, health, transportation, and national security and so many fields but with ease-of-use technology, the security issues come with it
Unauthorized access to web application and manipulate it causes a lot of financial damage and destroys infrastructure, which leads to economic paralysis and threatens public security
Saudi Arabia suffered continuous of numerous cyber-attacks on its infrastructure systems, which cause losses of billions of riyals

Summary

Introduction

This Since the beginning of the web in 1989 and expansion of the internet widely to facilitate life fields such as education, health, transportation, and national security and so many fields but with ease-of-use technology, the security issues come with it. Unauthorized access to web application and manipulate it causes a lot of financial damage and destroys infrastructure, which leads to economic paralysis and threatens public security. Security became major factor in our life for every individual, or organization and governments, and security is how to protect your information against any attack or threats. Weak security can cause many major troubles such as confidential data is compromised, negative public image, financial losses and legal issues, so there is no organization can operate and success with weak security. Saudi Arabia suffered continuous of numerous cyber-attacks on its infrastructure systems, which cause losses of billions of riyals. Saudi Arabia, and cyber-attacks have an impact on the global economy. According to the Forbes report, that the cost of cybercrime will be $10.5 trillion per year in the world by 2025 [3]
