Nessus Manager Training Course
The Nessus vulnerability scanner is a highly versatile platform designed for detecting and managing security vulnerabilities. Beyond basic vulnerability detection, it offers advanced capabilities such as baseline auditing, where your system configuration is benchmarked against established hardening standards.
In this instructor-led course, we will introduce the core components of the solution and explore its various functionalities. Each module within the application will be explained in detail, along with its practical use cases.
By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to conduct vulnerability scans—both authenticated and unauthenticated—on nearly all IP-based systems. They will learn to analyze scan results to eliminate false positives, prioritize findings based on risk, and recommend appropriate compensating controls. This training will empower participants to assess their systems' security posture using Nessus and determine the most effective remediation strategies.
