What it does
🛡 CyberScan – AI-Powered Vulnerability Scanner with Nessus, OpenAI, and Google Sheets 👤 Who’s it for Security teams, DevOps engineers, vulnerability analysts, and automation builders who want to eliminate repetitive Nessus scan parsing, AI-based risk triage, and manual reporting. Designed for orgs following NIST CSF or CISA KEV compliance guidelines. --- ⚙️ How it works / What it does - Runs scheduled or manual scans via the Nessus API. - Processes scan results and extracts asset + vulnerability data. - Uses a custom AI-based risk metric (LEV) to triage findings into: - 🚨 Expert review - ✅ Self-healing - 🕵️ Monitoring - Automatically sends email alerts for critical CVEs. - Exports daily summaries to Google Sheets (or your own BI system). - Maps to NIST CSF (Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover). --- 🧰 How to set up 1. Nessus: Add your Nessus API credentials and instance URL. 2. Google Sheets: Authenticate your Google account. 3. OpenAI / LLM: Use your API key if adding LLM triage or rewrite prompts. 4. Email: Update SMTP credentials and alert recipient address. 5. Set your targets: Adjust asset ranges or scan UUIDs as needed. 6. ⚠️ All setup steps are explained in sticky notes inside the workflow. --- 📋 Requirements - Nessus Essentials (Free) or Nessus Pro with API access. - SMTP service (e.g. Gmail, Mailgun, SendGrid). - Google Sheets OAuth2 credentials. - Optional: OpenAI or other LLM provider for LEV scoring and CVE insights. --- 🛠 How to customize the workflow - Swap Google Sheets with Airtable, Supabase, or PostgreSQL. - Change scan logic or asset list to fit your internal network scope. - Adjust AI scoring logic to match internal CVSS thresholds or KEV tags. - Expand alerting logic to include Slack, Discord, or webhook triggers. --- 🔒 No sensitive data included. All credentials and sheet links are placeholders.
