Faraday is a vulnerability management platform and security tool aggregator designed to centralize security findings from multiple scanners into a single dashboard. It utilizes a relational security database to catalog hosts, services, and security flaws, enabling users to track remediation and analyze organizational risk.
The platform distinguishes itself through a plugin-based system that normalizes diverse security tool outputs into a unified data model. It supports deep integration with a wide array of scanners and CLI tools, intercepting shell command output or parsing report files to aggregate findings. Additionally, it provides bidirectional synchronization with external ticketing systems via webhooks to maintain consistency between vulnerability states and remediation tasks.
Broad capabilities include automated scan scheduling, role-based access control, and identity federation via SAML 2.0 and LDAP. The system also features template-driven report generation for executive and compliance documents, as well as a Model Context Protocol server to expose management data to AI assistants.
The project is written in Python and integrates with PostgreSQL for data storage and Elasticsearch for high-performance querying.
