Nessus Manager Training Course
The Nessus vulnerability scanner serves as a highly adaptable platform for identifying and managing security weaknesses. Its capabilities extend well beyond simple vulnerability detection, encompassing baseline auditing as well. This process involves comparing your system configuration against established hardening standards to ensure optimal security posture.
In this instructor-led course, we will explore the various components of the solution and its diverse functionalities. Each module within the application will be thoroughly explained, with practical use cases outlined to demonstrate its value.
By the conclusion of the course, participants will be equipped to perform both authenticated and unauthenticated vulnerability scans across nearly all IP-based systems. You will learn to analyze scan results to identify and remove false positives, prioritize findings based on risk levels, and suggest appropriate compensating controls. This training will enable you to assess the security health of your systems using Nessus and determine the most effective remediation strategies.
