The Greenbone Security Feed delivers the latest findings of security experts from all over the globe to your doorstep. Updates occur automatically as service component of the Security Manager. They form a permanent stream of small procedures that the scan engine uses to check all the devices in your network for known and potential security problems – day after day.
Our Security Feed covers more than 79,000 vulnerability tests. What are they? Just take a look.
Quality assurance with a plan
The content of the Greenbone Security Feed undergoes a distinct process before it arrives at our customers’ sites and combines expertise from a variety of sources.
The process usually starts with security alerts. Each alert is automatically inserted into the VT Management System, creating a ticket. The tickets are processed in systematic phases by the Greenbone Labs team:
- Screening (validity)
- Research (type, correlation, priority)
- Implementation
- Quality Assurance
- Release (into feed service)
In cases where readily implemented NVTs arrive via our technology partners or via security communities, the phases are similar, but concentrate on quality assurance.
