Abstract
The data systems of universities are depended upon substantially for a variety of crucial reasons, including the management of academic programmes, the conduct of research, the dissemination of knowledge, and teaching and learning. One of the numerous new security threats to networks and information systems is the increase in computer-assisted fraud and attacks by cybercriminals both inside and outside the network. There are currently a wide array of dangers to the information systems and network infrastructure that could potentially compromise the dependability of the computer systems used in our educational institutions.This study presents an investigation of vulnerability discovery and assessment in educational institutions host network. In experimental work, two host networks were screened using Acunetix, Zaproxy, and OpenVAS scanners. These host networks belongs to educational institutions of North India. For security point of view, names of all hosts are not disclosed here. Form experimental results, it is clear that Accunetix tool is discovering maximum vulnerabilities in the host network segments.
