Tenable Nessus + HostedScan
The HostedScan team is excited to announce that you can now run Tenable Nessus vulnerability scans directly through HostedScan, alongside all of the other scanners already available on the platform.
Nessus, from Tenable, is one of the most trusted and widely used vulnerability scanners on the market. Fortune 500 enterprises, government agencies, and small-to-medium businesses alike rely on Nessus to find and fix vulnerabilities across their systems. With over 200,000 plugins covering a broad range of CVEs, misconfigurations, and compliance checks, Nessus delivers the deep, accurate coverage security teams depend on.
Nessus scanning options
Three Nessus scanning options are available through HostedScan:
- External scanning of internet-facing targets over the public internet — no setup required.
- Internal network scanning via a Nessus appliance you install on your network and link to your HostedScan account.
- Agent-based scanning with the Nessus agent, installed on your machines and linked to your HostedScan account — ideal for deep insight into vulnerabilities and missing patches on laptops, workstations, and other systems.
