Analysis of the foundations, ethics and social impact of AI in a general elementary school

Abstract

The article presented the results of an applied technological research focused on the design, implementation, and evaluation of a virtual sandbox architecture with pentesting tools, aimed at identifying vulnerabilities in mobile applications and websites of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Given the increasing risk of cyberattacks and the limited capacity of these organizations to adopt advanced security solutions, a controlled testing environment was developed, integrating open-source tools such as REMnux, OpenVAS, OWASP ZAP, and MobSF. The study adopted a qualitative descriptive and exploratory approach, complemented by quantitative techniques through structured surveys conducted with 17 companies and semi-structured interviews with experts. The methodology was divided into three phases: selection and evaluation of tools, proof-of-concept testing in virtual environments, and development of an operational guide. The results demonstrated that the sandbox environment was effective in detecting malware and vulnerabilities, allowing for both static and dynamic threat analysis and strengthening the digital resilience of SMEs. Key benefits identified included risk reduction, increased awareness of cybersecurity, and the implementation of viable and scalable solutions without requiring significant investments. It was concluded that the proposed technology was functional, replicable, and adaptable, representing an effective alternative to enhancing cybersecurity in resource-constrained business contexts. Finally, technical recommendations and future research directions were established, focusing on automated threat detection and security in IoT and cloud environments.
