    We've had customers use Tenable Nessus Pro, Qualys, Rapid 7 and also CIS for config scanning.

    Hey Albert - I already looked into these vendors: Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7 and others, and while they do a good job of scanning the host OS, network and web, they offer virtually no support for storage arrays, storage network, data protection, backup systems and storage management.

    Ah, I've found you here: https://www.continuitysoftware.com/about/

    At first blush, your initial question appeared as if you were a customer using an HNAS, seeking guidance from other HNAS users as to what tools are used to scan HNAS for vulnerabilities. However, it appears your intentions are to provide a venue for your product since you now mention a multitude of other items that would surround a full enterprise landscape. If you would like to be a partner/ISV, I can certainly place you in contact with our partner team so you can have a chat. Would be great to have more tools in the kitchen for others to use, that's for certain.
