Vulnerability scanners are useful tools for identifying potential vulnerabilities and security breaches and suggesting tips on how to correct any problems found. Retina is an award winning network scanner developed by California based Eye Digital Security that scans all types of operating systems, hosts, servers, routers and firewalls and reports on more than 1500 vulnerabilities. Retina, like Nessus, has NMap, the open source vulnerability and network discovery tool, at its core.
