OpenVAS Development & Integration

OpenVAS is the open-source standard for vulnerability scanning. We extend it for your specific compliance requirements.

GMP (XML-RPC)

The Greenbone Management Protocol enables full automation: Schedule scans, retrieve results, generate reports.

Alert System

Critical findings can trigger alerts: Email, SNMP trap, syslog, or webhook to your SIEM.

Custom NASL Scripts

We develop custom vulnerability tests in NASL for your proprietary systems or internal compliance checks.

Concrete Use Cases

How we implement OpenVAS development in practice.

Compliance Scan Policies

Problem

ISO 27001 / BSI IT-Grundschutz require regular scans, but standard policies don't cover all requirements.

Solution

Custom scan configs checking exact compliance requirements. Reports automatically formatted for audits.

CI/CD Security Gate

Problem

New deployments could introduce vulnerabilities. Security check only happens weeks later.

Solution

OpenVAS scan as pipeline stage. Deployment blocked on critical/high findings, ticket automatically created.

CMDB Asset Correlation

Problem

Scan results show IPs, but who's the owner? Which system is affected? Manual mapping needed.

Solution

Integration with CMDB: Findings automatically enriched with asset owner, criticality rating and SLA requirements.
