Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The sphere of information security in Kazakhstan affects an increasing number of industries every year, and penetration testing is also gaining popularity, as it is one of the key methods for assessing the security and risks of a company. This article is devoted to the research and development of a web application to provide full control over the penetration testing process: monitoring the implementation of tasks and projects, reporting on all processes, dividing tasks between employees. The management system automatically selects recommendations for eliminating vulnerabilities and generates reports on penetration testing. As a classification algorithm, a decision tree is used. Differentiation of users by access levels, structured data storage, automatic recording of test results, generation of reports and selection of recommendations for eliminating vulnerabilities make the web application more perfect and convenient compared to similar systems. The importance of this study lies in the simplification of the implementation of penetration testing and the development of this service in Kazakhstan, which will improve the level of information security in enterprises of all industries.
