Nessus Manager Training Course
The Nessus vulnerability scanner serves as a highly versatile platform for detecting and managing security vulnerabilities. Beyond standard vulnerability detection, it also supports baseline auditing, where your system configuration is compared against established hardening standards.
In this instructor-led course, we will introduce the key components of the solution and its various functionalities. Each module within the application will be explained, along with its specific use cases.
By the end of the course, participants will be capable of performing authenticated and unauthenticated vulnerability scans on nearly all IP-based systems and analyzing the results to eliminate false positives. Participants will learn to prioritize findings based on risk and recommend compensating controls. This course will help participants assess the security posture of their systems using Nessus and determine the best course of action for remediation.
