Nessus Manager Training Course
The Nessus vulnerability scanner is a highly adaptable platform designed for detecting and managing security weaknesses. Beyond standard vulnerability detection, it offers capabilities such as baseline auditing, which involves comparing your system configurations against established hardening standards.
Through this instructor-led course, we will introduce the solution's core components and diverse functionalities. Each module within the application will be explained, with its specific use cases clearly outlined.
By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to perform both authenticated and unauthenticated vulnerability scans on a wide range of IP-based systems. They will learn to analyze scan results to identify and eliminate false positives, prioritize findings based on risk, and recommend compensating controls. This training will enable participants to assess the security posture of their systems using Nessus and determine the most effective remediation strategies.
