Nessus Manager Training Course
The Nessus vulnerability scanner is a highly versatile platform designed for detecting and managing vulnerabilities. It can perform tasks beyond just identifying vulnerabilities, such as baseline auditing, where your system configuration is compared against the best hardening standards.
In this instructor-led course, we will introduce the components of the solution and explore its various functionalities. Each module in the application will be explained, along with its specific use cases.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to perform both authenticated and unauthenticated vulnerability scans on a wide range of IP-based systems and analyze the scan results to eliminate false positives. They will also learn how to prioritize findings based on risk and recommend appropriate compensating controls. This course will help participants assess the security posture of their systems using Nessus and determine the best actions for remediation.
