Description

Systems and networks can be scanned for known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposure indicators. It helps security teams and administrators assess hosts, services, and compliance findings through Nessus scanning workflows.

Vulnerability scanning can be intrusive and may disrupt fragile systems. Scan only assets you are authorized to test, protect scan credentials, and coordinate with service owners.
