Automated CyberPulse Vulnerability Scanning & Alerts
detail.loadingPreview
This n8n workflow automates your cybersecurity posture, performing scheduled vulnerability scans using Nessus, processing assets, and generating comprehensive reports. It instantly alerts your security team to critical threats with an AI Risk Score of 8 or higher, ensuring immediate response and proactive defense.
About This Workflow
This powerful n8n workflow, named "CyberScan," is designed for robust, automated vulnerability management. It integrates seamlessly with Nessus to conduct scheduled scans of your network segments and assets. Beyond just scanning, it intelligently processes discovered assets, and critically, sends immediate, high-priority alerts to your security team for vulnerabilities reaching an "AI Risk Score" of 8 or above. The workflow culminates in generating and distributing detailed vulnerability assessment reports, providing a complete feedback loop for continuous security monitoring and rapid incident response, all without manual intervention.
Key Features
- Scheduled Vulnerability Scans: Automatically initiate daily Nessus scans at a predefined time to maintain continuous security oversight.
- Nessus Integration: Securely authenticate and interact with your Nessus instance for comprehensive vulnerability discovery.
- AI-Powered Critical Alerts: Instantly notify your security team via email when high-risk vulnerabilities (AI Risk Score ≥ 8) are detected, prompting immediate action.
- Automated Reporting: Compile and distribute detailed vulnerability assessment reports to relevant stakeholders.
- Dynamic Asset Discovery: Initialize and process network segments to ensure all active assets are included in scans.
How To Use
- Configure Nessus Credentials: Set the following environment variables:
NESSUS_API_URL: Your Nessus API endpoint (e.g.,https://your-nessus-server:8834).NESSUS_USER: Your Nessus username.NESSUS_PASS: Your Nessus password.
- Define Network Segments: Populate the
NETWORK_SEGMENTSenvironment variable with a JSON array of your target network ranges (e.g.,["192.168.1.0/24", "10.0.0.0/8"]). - Set Email Addresses: Update the
toEmailandfromEmailfields in both the "Send Email" (for reports) and "📧 Alert Security Team" nodes with your desired recipient and sender addresses. - Adjust Scan Schedule: Modify the Cron expression in the "⏱️ Trigger – Scheduled Scan" node to align with your preferred scanning frequency (default is daily at 7 AM UTC).
- Enable Workflow: Activate the workflow to begin automated vulnerability scanning, critical alerting, and reporting.
