Nessus Manager Training Course
The Nessus vulnerability scanner is a highly versatile platform designed for detecting and managing vulnerabilities. Its capabilities extend far beyond simple vulnerability detection, also encompassing baseline auditing. This involves comparing your system configurations against established hardening standards.
In this instructor-led course, we will introduce the core components of the solution and its various functionalities. Each module within the application will be explained, along with its specific use cases.
Upon completing the course, participants will be able to conduct both authenticated and unauthenticated vulnerability scans on nearly all IP-based systems. They will learn to analyze scan results to eliminate false positives, prioritize findings based on risk, and recommend compensating controls. This course will empower participants to assess the security posture of their systems using Nessus and determine the most effective remediation strategies.
