Description
OpenVAS/GVM is a fully-featured vulnerability scanner, but it’s also one component of the larger “Greenbone Security Manager” (GSM).
OpenVAS dates back to 2009 and the project is maintained by a commercial/open-source company. With its focus on the enterprise market and its long history, any risks of enterprises adopting a technology that might become abandoned are greatly reduced.
Here are some notable positives of OpenVAS/GVM:
Has a long history (since 2009) with daily updates and over 50,000 vulnerability tests
Is backed by an enterprise software-security company
Can perform various types of authenticated/unauthenticated tests
Supports a variety of high- and low-level Internet and industrial protocols
Has an internal programming language that can be used for implementing custom vulnerability tests
