Hello OpenVAS Team,
it is time to go public with OpenVAS-5.
Here is a proposal for the announcement.
Hope it creates good awareness in the public.
Anything we missed or is wrong?
For the OpenVAS Announcement Mailing List I can add a full list
of the new/changed features.
As you can see, OpenVAS-5 will be at LinuxTag in Berlin in May!! :-)
I will be there for a day, too.
All the best
Jan
OpenVAS-5: New Asset-Management, Delta-Reports and embedded SCAP-Data.
One year after OpenVAS-4 the fifth version of the tool for vulnerability
scanning and management offers several new features. At the same time the
number of freely available vulnerability checks has increased to over 25,000.
A very practical extension is the possibility to show the differences between
two scan reports and the direct availability of current CPE and CVE information
inside the OpenVAS database.
This saves time for users who are finding out about changes and security
recommendations. The new asset management adds a second view on scan results.
It allows the user to review scan results for any selection of IP devices in
the network.
All in all 20 new features were added, especially focusing on simplifying daily
use. The systemtic improvements underline the position of OpenVAS as the most
advanced Open Source solution for vulnerability management. The new version can
be downloaded free and is available as Free Software under the GNU GPL license.
The company Greenbone Networks develops and uses OpenVAS as a basis for its
appliance product family for vulnerability scanning and management. Together
with the companies SecPod, SecuritySpace and the wider community new
vulnerability tests and feature improvements are developed on a daily basis.
The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) supports OpenVAS and
uses it, together with many other federal agencies, for their IT security
framwork.
OpenVAS-5 can be experienced live at the Linuxtag Conference and Exhibition in
Berlin (Germany) from 23rd to 26th of May 2012 at the BSI booth.
