Machine learning model for calculating confidence scores associated with potential security vulnerabilities

Abstract

Various embodiments include systems and methods of implementing a machine learning model for calculating confidence scores associated with potential security vulnerabilities. The machine learning model is trained using vulnerability data associated with a set of previously identified vulnerabilities, where the vulnerability data indicates whether a previously identified vulnerability is a true positive or a false positive. In some embodiments, scan traffic data may be obtained. The scan traffic data may be associated with potential security vulnerabilities detected via scan engine(s) that implement application security testing. The machine learning model may be used to determine respective confidence scores for each potential security vulnerability. According to some embodiments, responsive to a request for scan findings associated with a particular application, the respective confidence scores may be displayed via a vulnerability analysis graphical user interface.
