The Greenbone Community Edition (GCE, being a derivate of the GSM ONE) comes as a virtual machine and allows for fast and easy way of testing our solution on Windows, Linux or Mac. No particular know-how is needed.

The Greenbone Source Edition (GSE) covers the actual source codes of the Greenbone application stack for vulnerability scanning and vulnerability management (GVM).

The Greenbone Management Protocol is the central API allowing to control all functionalities of the Greenbone Vulnerability Manager and thus of the Greenbone Security Manager appliances as well. Even the web-client GSA exclusively uses GMP to communicate with the back-end.
Technically speaking, GMP is a XML-based human-readable, stateless request-response protocol.

The daily updated feed services cover latest vulnerability tests, security information and related data.

Vulnerability tests (VTs) are executed by a scanner and detect vulnerabilities of various kind.
VTs also detect services, products etc. and gather policy compliance information.

A security process is what goes beyond just applying a single security product or a single security guideline. Combining technical and organizational elements and making it a routine is what forms a security process.

Greenbone OS is the operating system for the Greenbone Security Manager (GSM) appliances. It covers a linux-based core, the Greenbone application stack for vulnerability scanning and management (GVM, Greenbone Vulnerability Management) and the appliance administration layer.

The Open Scanner Protocol is designed to allow controlling various vulnerability scanners. These scanners must either offer the protocol OSP on their own or be connected via an adapter (“OSP wrapper”).
