[ADMIN] Postgres vs EnterpriseDB Vulnerability scans with Nessus

From
"Goldsmith, Christopher [ASM Research]"
Date:

We are using Nessus Version: 5.5.0 to run Vulnerability scans of our EnterpriseDB 9.5..x instances and Nessus is using up-to-date Postgres audit file/ policy / definitions.

 

Is there anyone here that uses EnterpriseDB fork of Postgres and can confirm if the EnterpriseDB and Postgres are close enough that the results are valid and can be trusted.

 

Our need for all this is to meet Federal audit requirements.

EDB is a proprietary fork with unknown modifications (i.e. we on this
list don't have access to their source code), thus I think only EDB can
answer that question. You should be asking them.
