Vulnerability scanner service

Currently there is no structured use of vulnerability research / scanning software within the GÉANT community, the contracting of a provider of such services should change that. The ultimate objective of this procurement is to build a foundation for all connected NRENs in which they can make use of vulnerability scanner software, -system or- services that are best suited in their situation, while via regular reporting mechanisms the GÉANT community get better and more reliable insights on how secure or vulnerable its networks are.
