Hosted Greenbone OpenVAS without the headaches
Run Greenbone OpenVAS network vulnerability scanning as a managed service - plus ZAP DAST, Nmap, Nuclei, attack narratives, and MSP white-label reports from $25/month.
Greenbone Vulnerability Management and OpenVAS
OpenVAS is the scanner engine inside Greenbone Vulnerability Management (GVM). Self-hosting means you own feed updates, hardware sizing, and scanner maintenance. Panoptic hosts OpenVAS so you get the same class of network findings without running GVM yourself.
| Need | Self-hosted Greenbone / OpenVAS | Panoptic Scans |
|---|---|---|
| Ops burden | You maintain GVM, feeds, and capacity | Hosted OpenVAS managed for you |
| Web / DAST | Separate tooling | Hosted ZAP included |
| MSP white-label | DIY branding | Built-in branded reports |
| Pricing | Infra + time + optional Greenbone commercial | From $25/mo public pricing |

Network scanning
OpenVAS results without GVM babysitting
Schedule external network scans from the cloud. Pro plan customers can scan internal networks with our self-hosted script and upload results for centralized reporting - still without running a full Greenbone stack for every customer.
MSP ready
White-label for client delivery
MSPs get branded reports and multi-organization management so OpenVAS findings ship under your brand - not a DIY PDF export from a self-hosted console.
More than network VM
ZAP, Nmap, and Nuclei included
Self-hosted OpenVAS alone does not cover application DAST. Panoptic Scans adds hosted ZAP plus Nmap and Nuclei. We do not offer SAST or dependency/SCA scanning, and scanning does not replace penetration testing.

Plans from $25/month. See pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the relationship between Greenbone and OpenVAS?
OpenVAS is the open-source vulnerability scanner that underpins Greenbone Vulnerability Management (GVM). Greenbone develops and maintains the scanner ecosystem; many teams refer to self-hosted GVM stacks simply as “OpenVAS.”
Why choose hosted OpenVAS over self-hosting Greenbone?
Self-hosting GVM/OpenVAS means feeds, updates, disk, memory, and scanner ops. Panoptic Scans runs hosted OpenVAS in the cloud so MSPs and SMBs get network vulnerability results without maintaining the stack - plus ZAP, Nmap, and Nuclei in one dashboard.
Can MSPs white-label reports?
Yes. Panoptic Scans includes white-labeled PDF reports for client delivery, along with organizations for multi-customer management.
Does Panoptic Scans support internal OpenVAS scans?
External OpenVAS scans run from the cloud on all plans. Internal network OpenVAS scanning is available on the Pro plan via a self-hosted script with results uploaded to Panoptic.
Does Panoptic Scans replace Greenbone Enterprise for every use case?
No. Teams that need full on-prem Greenbone control or enterprise Greenbone products may prefer self-hosting or commercial Greenbone offerings. Panoptic Scans is the hosted alternative for MSPs and SMBs who want OpenVAS results without the ops burden.
