1. A system, comprising:

  • at least one processor;

    a communication interface communicatively coupled to the at least one processor; and

    memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to;

    receive, via the communication interface, and from an administrative computing device associated with an enterprise organization, a request to scan one or more servers associated with the enterprise organization for open shares;

    based on receiving the request to scan the one or more servers associated with the enterprise organization for open shares, validate one or more input files associated with the request to scan the one or more servers associated with the enterprise organization for open shares;

    based on validating the one or more input files associated with the request to scan the one or more servers associated with the enterprise organization for open shares, verify access to the one or more servers associated with the enterprise organization to be scanned for open shares;

    based on verifying access to the one or more servers associated with the enterprise organization to be scanned for open shares, scan the one or more servers associated with the enterprise organization to create a runtime share list file identifying one or more open shares on the one or more servers associated with the enterprise organization;

    based on scanning the one or more servers associated with the enterprise organization to create the runtime share list file identifying one or more open shares on the one or more servers associated with the enterprise organization, identify at least one open share of the one or more open shares on the one or more servers associated with the enterprise organization to be remediated;

    based on identifying the at least one open share of the one or more open shares on the one or more servers associated with the enterprise organization to be remediated, apply one or more remediation actions to the at least one open share of the one or more open shares on the one or more servers associated with the enterprise organization;

    based on applying the one or more remediation actions to the at least one open share of the one or more open shares on the one or more servers associated with the enterprise organization, update an output file to include remediation information identifying the one or more remediation actions applied to the at least one open share of the one or more open shares on the one or more servers associated with the enterprise organization; and

    based on updating the output file to include remediation information identifying the one or more remediation actions applied to the at least one open share of the one or more open shares on the one or more servers associated with the enterprise organization, send, via the communication interface, to the administrative computing device associated with the enterprise organization, the output file.
