Protect Your IT Infrastructure from Hackers and Malware
With the World’s Most Widely Used Open-Source Vulnerability Management System
Every cyberattack must exploit some type of vulnerability to be successful. Greenbone’s mission is to identify IT security vulnerabilities and weaknesses before they can be exploited. We reduce the risk and impact of cyberattacks on companies, organizations, and workplaces by up to 99.9%.
Their vulnerability management solutions leverage a constantly growing number of vulnerability tests, with new tests added daily. As a result, our success rate in uncovering known vulnerabilities (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, CVE) is significantly higher than that of our competitors.
Greenbone’s vulnerability management is available as dedicated hardware appliances, and virtual machine (VM) configurations compatible with all popular hypervisors. With over 100,000 installations and more than 100 partner companies, their vulnerability management is used around the globe.

Why Greenbone
Effective vulnerability management is not simply about producing a list of security findings. Organisations must understand what is present in their environment, determine which weaknesses create the greatest risk, take action before they are exploited and continuously improve their security posture.
Greenbone supports this complete lifecycle. It helps organisations discover exposed assets and services, analyse vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, secure systems through prioritised remediation and validation, and evolve from periodic scanning into a mature, measurable vulnerability-management programme.
Built on the internationally recognised OPENVAS technology, Greenbone combines open-source transparency, continuously updated vulnerability intelligence and flexible on-premises, virtual and appliance-based deployment. This gives organisations greater control over their security data while providing the visibility and actionable intelligence needed to reduce their attack surface.
Through TDS, Greenbone is backed by local expertise, deployment services and integration support across Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia—turning vulnerability information into practical and measurable risk reduction.

OPENVAS Scan
Known Vulnerabilities – the Biggest Risk
999 out of 1,000 successfully exploited vulnerabilities have been known for more than a year. OPENVAS SCAN is a powerful vulnerability scanner for modern IT environments and a key component of Open Source Vulnerability Management. It helps organisations identify security weaknesses early and close security gaps before attackers exploit them.
Greenbone’s solution continuously scans your IT infrastructure, prioritises risks and provides clear remediation recommendations. OPENVAS SCAN complements existing security measures such as firewalls and anti-virus solutions by adding the visibility needed to detect weaknesses before they lead to incidents.
OPENVAS Security Intelligence
From Vulnerability Detection to Centralized Security Intelligence
OPENVAS SECURITY INTELLIGENCE acts as the management and intelligence layer for distributed vulnerability scanning with multiple OPENVAS SCAN systems. It consolidates scan results from distributed environments, enriches findings with contextual information and provides centralized visibility across assets and vulnerabilities.
This creates a clear and centralized vulnerability management process. Security teams gain visibility across distributed scan environments and additional vulnerability intelligence through CSAF advisories and SBOM analysis.
Consolidated Risk Analytics
Central dashboards across multiple OPENVAS SCAN systems with aggregated vulnerability data.
Centralized Management
Centralized management of distributed OPENVAS SCAN systems and scan tasks.
Vulnerability Intelligence
CSAF advisories and SBOM analysis provide additional vulnerability context for prioritisation.
Centralised Visibility for Vulnerabilities and Assets
Scan results from distributed environments are consolidated into a central interface, making it easier to identify affected assets and review vulnerability severity.
By combining scan data with CSAF advisories and SBOM information, the platform adds relevant context for prioritization.
