Security as a service framework for broadband users

Abstract

Currently most businesses rely on broadband to run networks and web applications. This means introduction of vulnerabilities in Universal Resource Locator (URL) that are in connection. Effective monitoring of URLs is crucial for any organization; each port has vulnerabilities associated with it. This research project explored the use of Security as a Service (SaaS) business model to deliver security to users through a web based technology. The project implements a web based technology software with an aim to assist broadband users to scan for vulnerabilities in a URL based on open ports or ports in use and suggest ways of mitigating the vulnerabilities discovered. Results from several sample websites are given, exceptions, constraints and achievements. The project also compares the findings to related previous work and then gives a conclusion and recommendation for further work.
