Tenable Nessus is an industry standard vulnerability scanner that can be installed for free for basic network scanning. I’ve also had the opportunity to deploy Nessus agents across a fleet of hundreds of Linux servers and run extensive scans from Tenable cloud. In this article I’ll describe setting up Nessus in Linux to scan remote hosts. Having knowledge of the vulnerabilities present in your environment is critical in defending against Cyber attack.
