Nessus Manager Training Course
The Nessus vulnerability scanner is a highly versatile platform for detecting and managing vulnerabilities. It can do much more than just identify vulnerabilities; it also performs baseline auditing, comparing your system configuration with the best hardening standards.
In this instructor-led course, we will introduce the components of the solution and its various functionalities. Each module in the application will be explained, along with its practical use cases.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to conduct both authenticated and unauthenticated vulnerability scans on almost all IP-based systems and analyze the scan results to eliminate false positives. They will learn how 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.
