What is Greenbone Vulnerability Manager?

Greenbone GVM adds web application VT scanning and async report export scheduling

Greenbone Vulnerability Manager (gvmd) has shipped four feature releases in roughly six weeks, centering on two themes: web application vulnerability scanning (ZAP VTs loaded into the database as a new 'Web Application VT' subtype) and report export infrastructure (async scheduling, polling, GMP command support). The integration of OWASP ZAP vulnerability tests into GVM's VT database is the most directional change — it extends GVM's scanning coverage beyond network and host vulnerabilities into web application-layer findings.

What is Resend?

Resend exposes webhooks as a fully programmable surface — including MCP server support — while completing API parity across broadcast management.

Resend shipped at least one changelog entry every day in the last three weeks of September 2026. The product is systematically closing the gap between what's configurable in the UI and what's accessible via API: segment renaming, API key renaming, clicked-link retrieval, and now full webhook management are all programmable. The Headless Webhook API, released September 16, is the most significant change — developers can now create and configure webhook endpoints entirely via API, CLI, SDK, or MCP server, removing the last major operation that required a browser visit.

Greenbone Vulnerability Manager vs Resend: editorial side-by-side

G5.0

Greenbone GVM adds web application VT scanning and async report export scheduling

◆ Current state

Greenbone Vulnerability Manager (gvmd) has shipped four feature releases in roughly six weeks, centering on two themes: web application vulnerability scanning (ZAP VTs loaded into the database as a new 'Web Application VT' subtype) and report export infrastructure (async scheduling, polling, GMP command support). The integration of OWASP ZAP vulnerability tests into GVM's VT database is the most directional change — it extends GVM's scanning coverage beyond network and host vulnerabilities into web application-layer findings.

◆ Where it's heading

GVM is building toward a more comprehensive vulnerability management platform that covers web applications alongside traditional network targets. The ZAP VT integration (v26.35.0) and the dedicated web_application_vt GMP subtype suggest this is a strategic integration rather than a one-off import. Report export scheduling (v26.37.0–26.38.0) addresses a real operational need for teams that need to push findings to external systems on a schedule rather than on-demand. Agent application severities and OCI image target improvements show the platform expanding into container and agentic workload scanning.

◆ Prediction

The ZAP VT subtype will gain dedicated reporting and filtering capabilities in the next few releases, since the data model is now in place but the UI and workflow support will need to catch up. OCI image scanning is likely to get more depth given the ongoing container target improvements.

Resend exposes webhooks as a fully programmable surface — including MCP server support — while completing API parity across broadcast management.

◆ Current state

Resend shipped at least one changelog entry every day in the last three weeks of September 2026. The product is systematically closing the gap between what's configurable in the UI and what's accessible via API: segment renaming, API key renaming, clicked-link retrieval, and now full webhook management are all programmable. The Headless Webhook API, released September 16, is the most significant change — developers can now create and configure webhook endpoints entirely via API, CLI, SDK, or MCP server, removing the last major operation that required a browser visit.

◆ Where it's heading

Resend is converging on a fully API-first email infrastructure platform. The MCP server integration with webhooks is a deliberate move toward the AI-native developer toolchain, signaling that Resend sees infrastructure automation and LLM-driven workflows as a real use case, not a footnote. The SSO addition on September 1 continues enterprise expansion. With API parity nearing completion, the next surface to fill is analytics — open rates, bounce rates, and delivery event streams are not yet exposed programmatically.

◆ Prediction

Full broadcast analytics via API is the most visible gap remaining — List Clicked Links shipped September 15, which is one piece, but open-rate and delivery-event endpoints are likely next. A webhook event stream or subscription API would round out the headless infrastructure story.
