• I am an ex-welder turned Offensive Security analyst (ethical hacker) AmA!

  I would be tempted to say yes. It's important to keep in mind that most tech companies out there don't have a giant budget and 1000 employees so they often can't afford a red team. This in turn creates a big demand for external contractors such as Cobalt.

• Link CVE to installed applications?

  Otherwise your on the right path checkout the open source Greenbones OpenVAS (this was Nessus before they closed source and became corporate) or Project Discovery Nuclei. Source: about 1 year ago

• What should I be doing as the sole sysadmin for a company to keep up with security?

  Personally, I was lucky enough to get a license to Nessus for my own scanning, however you can use OpenVAS for some free to scan. Scanners aren't 100% correct no matter where you go but it'll give you some things to look at. OpenVAS. Source: about 2 years ago

• Wanting to protect my own homelab

  Https://openvas.org/ OpenVAS is free and fairly capable. It might struggle cpu on a pi... Might need quite a bit of ram, but I'm hoping you've got some beefier kit in your stack. Source: about 2 years ago

• Free nessus equivalent?

  Maybe OpenVAS would fill the bill. It’s been on my list of things to check out. Source: over 2 years ago

• Internal Vulnerability Scanning

  OpenVAS - https://openvas.org Try it first, its free, just download a prebuilt VM and you're off and running. I found it valuable for my clients. Source: almost 3 years ago
