What is your primary use case for Tenable Nessus?

Tenable Nessus's primary use case is scanning endpoints and servers for vulnerabilities, outdated patches, or services. I am using it to increase visibility and dive deep into systems. The tool is particularly used for scanning Linux servers to check for vulnerabilities and unwanted patches or services.

We have clients, and we are a vendor. We have deployed Tenable Nessus users with the help of the Principal on the client's environment. I have experience with the deployment and the scanning.

We use Tenable Nessus as a vulnerability management tool. It helps identify vulnerabilities in our system, how to address them, and what mitigation steps are required. We can assign high, medium, or low priority levels and schedule scans to run at specific times. The tool generates vulnerability assessment reports, valuable in our organization's environment for continuous security assessment.

We do infrastructure audits in the state, and we have a lot of organizations and customers for which we do security assessments.

We have around 500 virtual machines. Therefore, we conduct monthly scans and open tickets for our developers to address identified vulnerabilities. These scans cover the servers, other network equipment, and appliances in our infrastructure.

The solution is used to check vulnerabilities.

We use Tenable Nessus for asset and vulnerability management.

I use Tenable Nessus for vulnerability assessment so that you can scan for CVEs and existing CVEs. Tenable Nessus will show you the latest update on those vulnerabilities and where it needs patches, so it goes hand in hand with patch management. As soon as you scan, you can see whether it needs patching, and if needed, you can go ahead and deploy patch management to address the current issue.

Tenable Nessus is used to perform process and network assessments and sometimes for reviews.

I evaluated, set up, and implemented Tenable Nessus for a client. They had four firewalls, about 500 endpoints, two servers, and one database server.

We use Tenable to scan all the workstations in our government environment for vulnerabilities and outdated software. The Tenable agents installed on the PCs enable us to detect any potential security risks or applications that are not up-to-date, malicious, or suspicious. This helps us ensure that all the PCs are secure and are in good posture.

We use Tenable Nessus to schedule test scans and work with the finding. We have integrated Tenable Nessus with Splunk.

I primarily use the solution for network scanning. I can use it when I want to see network scanning involved with the network devices and servers.

Every month, I had this Windows Gold image scan. I would obtain some IP addresses, create some rules, and then run them. Then there were the automatic automated jobs that I and my colleagues would arrange to execute. They would run at night so they wouldn't interrupt the systems. Enter some IP addresses for workstations and servers. Some were in a highly secure zone, while others were in a separate subnet, we enter those IP addresses in and run them, scheduling them to run biweekly or weekly.

My company uses Tenable as a vulnerability assessment. We use it for scanning, for the discovery of vulnerabilities in the components or the software, or on the IT infrastructure of our client.

Our company uses the solution for vulnerability scanning.

We use it predominantly for vulnerability scanning and compliance scanning as part of the vulnerability and compliance protocols in one of our programs.

We use this solution for network and device scanning. Massive scanners have been integrated with the security center. We scan devices and pull the report from the security center. We publish the report to respective stakeholders, and we maintain the reports for our records. The reports show vulnerabilities, plugin text, and plugin outputs. We analyze the report and try to close the vulnerabilities identified in the scan. The solution is deployed on-premises. There are about 10 people using this solution in my organization. They were part of the security team and were doing the scanning and remediation. I led the team and dealt with any challenges. My organization is a service provider. We provide security services to clients.

I primarily use Nessus for vulnerability management, including scanning, identifying, and assessing risks.

Tenable Nessus can be deployed on the cloud and on-premise. I use Tenable Nessus for an internal secured scale.

I use this solution for OS auditing, database auditing, virtualization, and following how closely it follows our CI or TISA benchmarks. We also use it for malware and ransomware risk and for carrying out assessments. We purchased this product from a local partner that has a premium partnership with Tenable. I'm a cybersecurity and compliance lead engineer.

Two of our customers use it for vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, and they are getting very good results.

Our customers are using this solution. They scan their network, and they get a report about vulnerability assessment tools and solutions. It's deployed on-prem.

Tenable Nessus can be deployed on-premise and in the cloud. Tenable Nessus is a vulnerability scanner to find vulnerabilities. The solution finds the vulnerabilities in our environment and then we send those vulnerabilities that are found out to the SMEs to be fixed.

We are a solution provider and Tenable Nessus is one of the products that we implement for our clients. The primary task that Tenable is focused on is vulnerability management.

We're using Tenable Nessus to manage vulnerabilities.

We primarily use the solution for our customer vApp, the dynamic application testing using NetWeb application and security and the infra scanning. It allows us to do a weekly scan for our customers.

I'm currently using the Nessus essentials for testing, it's installed on my Notebook. My company has only been in operation for one month so as soon as I close with my first client, I will buy the professional version. I used the solution in my previous job.

We are using it to find out the vulnerabilities in our critical servers and to patch them. We are using the latest version.

I'm using Tenable Nessus for my personal projects and vulnerability assessment, but I can't discuss what I do at work with you.

We use this solution for information gathering and as an assessment tool.

I'm using Tenable for a project I'm working on. The primary use case is for web application scanning and we're also able to conduct infrastructure scanning and network scanning. I'm not using all the features.

As new upgrades to the software come out periodically, I am currently using the latest version.

We usually use the solution for infrastructure level and web application scanning, although mostly for the former. This is what we are doing at present. We were using the web application portion of Tenable Nessus for several months before switching to Veracode.

We use Tenable Nessus when we are preparing our audit where we need to do an initial scan of our customers' platform to see if they have any critical issues.

Our use cases are pretty straightforward. We primarily use it for conducting vulnerability scans.

I primarily use the solution for vulnerability scanning within our organization.

I have been using Tenable Nessus for my personal use. It works well. I am using this solution for testing.

We use it for vulnerability management. We have the latest version because we're using it in the cloud right now. I have a public cloud and a private cloud version.

We use Tenable Nessus to provide service to our bank. I use it to provide our main service related to our big management. Other than providing information security to our clients, it is our information security provider, service provider — we manage it. Using Nessus, we are able to scan and locate any potential vulnerabilities that our clients may have and point them out to them. I am not sure how many users we have using this solution, but we have more than 100,000 assets distributed between roughly 40 clients.

We primarily use the solution for vulnerability management. We also use it during our IP scans.

We are a company that provides cloud migration services. We help companies to migrate to the public cloud. When our customers want to migrate applications, they're worried about the security aspect in the cloud. So we are trying to see how the application security that is on-premises can be migrated to the cloud. We don't have any particular solution, we are working with a few options. The customer selects what best suits their needs. If we have a program, we work with that. It's not specific to what we are working with.

Over 15.000 active assets|inside 10 companies belonging to the group, the biennium recurrent project mapped the real situation, in parallel with photography of IT/Security maturity through three main domains: processes, people, and technology. 5 TOEs: Infrastructure, Databases (SQL and Oracle in deep), AWS Cloud, Connectivity (Routers, Switches, and Firewalls against/based CIS) and Web Application instances (partial tests).

We use it for servers, domain controllers, application servers, Oracle servers, SQL servers, as well as network devices, like routers. For PCs that are used for services such as credit cards and ATMs, we usually do a vulnerability assessment, including Windows Servers, Linux servers, SQL servers, and database servers. We scan everything except basic PCs because it would require a lot of time to check all those reports. Our system administrators use another solution to check regular PCs for Windows and MS updates. We're checking things every month. We created a schedule and it checks automatically. From time to time, we'll use it to check things if something unusual has happened. For example, if a stranger was on a computer, we'll check if is there a vulnerability there. We also use it to prepare reports when the agency asks for them.

We mainly use it for scanning for vulnerability on our hosts, like network devices and servers; to find the vulnerabilities and do remediation. We monitor Windows and Linux workstations.

I use it for performing vulnerability scans for both my environment and for clients. I provide fractional CISO consulting services. As such, I will perform a vulnerability scan on an environment before I say "yes." Everybody has to have a vulnerability scan. You should do them periodically which, to me, is monthly. It's just good practice to perform that scan monthly and whenever there's a major change, to make sure that you don't have any open environment. I monitor web servers, database servers, app servers, desktops; everything you'd find on a network, besides switches and routers. I don't have that, but I monitor any Windows- and Linux-based nodes.

We use it for internal and external vulnerability scans.

It is used for vulnerability management. We used Nessus to scan our machines to see how they were vulnerable, for patches or security. The CVE numbers is what we looked at, the security vulnerability, and tried to figure out what we were vulnerable to. We monitored Windows Servers, Windows workstations, Linux servers, firewalls, switches, VMware equipment, and Cisco UCS hardware through the application.

Our primary use case of this solution is scanning of our external websites.

Nessus was used to scan vulnerabilities and compliances in our clients' networks and with this, carry out the remediation process through constant cycles in time until threats to the network are considerably reduced. The environments are small business networks (less than 50 employees), and so far there have been no major impediments in the scans performed.

Primarily, I use this for assessment and administration testing.

My primary use case of this solution is for scanning internal networks.

I use Tenable Nessus to evaluate the security posture of multiples acquisitions before integrating them to our network.
