About Greenbone

It’s the Team that Wins

Greenbone Networks was founded by leading experts for network security and free software in 2008. The company is headquartered in Osnabrück, Germany. Today our solutions are at work all over the world.

We offer an open source solution for vulnerability analysis and management – the Greenbone Security Manager (GSM). It identifies security risks in corporate IT, assesses their risk potential and recommends actions. The goal is to prevent attacks by targeting precautionary measures. The GSM is the perfect complement to reactive security tools like firewalls & Co.

Transparency and quality are important to us. Our customers receive a completely auditable product made in Germany, not a black box. Our solution has even found favor in high places. Greenbone has a contract with the German Federal Office for Information Security to support federal agencies in fending off cyber attacks.

We write TEAMWORK in capital letters.

The Management Team

Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner, CEO and Co-Founder of Greenbone Networks

For the development and management of a high quality and fast growing IT security company I rely on extensive experience. After my scientific education I specialized in designing and implementing software products and architectures.

From the beginning it was clear to me that good management of the executing teams is a key success factor. Over the years I have concentrated on the management tasks. Just like science, technology and management, I have always been fascinated by identifying customer interests and finding the right entrepreneurial response.

For me, transparency and openness in these areas are key factors in combining economic success with the certainty of making a contribution to the development of our modern society. I enjoy working together with my employees and partner companies – in which I particularly appreciate the deep trust and high efficiency.

Lukas Grunwald, CTO and Co-Founder of Greenbone Networks

I draw on 15 years of experience in IT security, specializing in the security of wireless/wired data and communications networks, forensic analysis, auditing and active networking. I’m often featured in industry publications, such as Wired and RFID Journal and also participate actively in conferences such as Hackers at Large, Hacking in Progress, Network World, Internet World, Linux World (USA/Europe), Linux Day Luxembourg, Linux Tag, CeBIT and Blackhat Briefings.

Let’s make this world a little bit better place to live in. Before you can secure it, you have to understand how it works and how to break it. Then, the best security solution can be delivered based on experience and knowledge. No matter what language you speak, what culture you live in, the problems are always the same, and I have seen most of the IT security challenges at large.

I have first-hand experience as an entrepreneur in Europe, the USA and Asia and am now helping build Greenbone to position the company as a world-class provider of network security scanning solutions. I co-authored various security auditing tools and made them available as free software published under GPL.

Elmar Geese, COO

I am part of the Greenbone management team since early 2020. From my role as COO, I am responsible for Operations, Marketing and Sales.

The security of information systems is fundamental for all organizations and our modern society. Greenbone makes a decisive contribution to making our world safer.
With our solutions for intelligent vulnerability management we have the potential to develop from a European market leader to an international player.

I am pleased to be able to make a decisive contribution here.
