Thanks, I had played with the excel data.

I am willing to program a tool if needed.

I am also aware of your other products. They are nice.

What are the free options that you meantioned would manage scans and reports?


Thanks,

There are a variety of commercial and free tools that can process the
output Nessus. Many of these tools will also manage your scans. The
product from Tenable is named the Security Center and you can see videos
and demos of it at http://www.tenablesecurity.com.

I'm not sure if you are looking for a tool, or looking to program a
tool, but as it was pointed out, XML is just one of the formats.
Whichever is easiest for you to program with you should use.

I speak to a lot of our customers and users of Nessus who put the Nessus
data into spread sheets. You can load up XML documents into Excel and do
a variety of manipulations of the data.
