3. Post-Scan and Vulnerability Management:

Vulnerability Closure: Use Burp (or develop alternative Python scripts) to automate batch closure of resolved vulnerabilities.
Security Analysis: Assess vulnerabilities to determine if they are false positives (requires basic security knowledge).

Risk Management: Apply basic risk management knowledge to evaluate and propose vulnerability parking timeframes.
4. Infrastructure and Planning:
Planning: Map networks and schedule scans, considering average execution times and restrictions.
