Zenmap is the official cross-platform GUI for Nmap. It targets analysts who want repeatable scan workflows without remembering every command-line flag.
Useful features for a SOC analyst:
-
Profile manager — save custom scan recipes ("internal asset discovery", "DMZ audit") and rerun them in one click.
-
Topology tab — visual map showing latency and hops.
-
Compare results — diff two scans to see what changed between scheduled audits.
-
Output and import compatible with raw Nmap XML.
