Streamline security testing workflows by automatically running vulnerability scans, generating detailed reports, and notifying security teams of critical findings.

Workflow Steps

1

OWASP ZAP

Run automated security scan

Configure OWASP ZAP to perform automated vulnerability scanning on target applications, including SQL injection, XSS, and other common security flaws. Set up scheduled scans or trigger via API.

2

Python Script

Parse scan results and generate report

Create a Python script that processes ZAP's XML/JSON output, categorizes vulnerabilities by severity, and generates a formatted PDF report with executive summary and technical details.

3

Google Drive

Store report in shared folder

Automatically upload the generated security report to a designated Google Drive folder with proper naming conventions (date, application name, scan type) for audit trail and team access.

4

Slack

Send alert to security team

Use Slack webhooks to post critical vulnerability alerts to the security team channel, including severity level, affected systems, and link to the full report in Google Drive.
