Nessus Vulnerability Scanner Tutorial (Cyber Security Tools)

How do you detect vulnerabilities that exist in a network or on a system?

The ability to identify vulnerabilities and to track them throughout their life cycle is crucial to maintaining a secure network. According to the CIS 20 Controls, Continuous Vulnerability Management is the third most important and basic control that you should have in your network. Unfortunately, vulnerability detection and vulnerability management can be two very time-consuming processes in Cyber Security. Luckily, there are tools that we can use to automate the discovery process. Nessus is arguably the most well-known vulnerability scanning tool in the market. As a result, if there is one scanner you should be familiar with then it’s Nessus.

In this video, we will walk through the Nessus Vulnerability Scanner. We will cover everything from the installation process and running your first vulnerability scan. I highly encourage you to follow along in your home lab to help build your skills with Nessus. Remember you should only scan networks that you have WRITTEN authorization to do so.

Nessus is so easy it does all the work for you. Funny thing at a Job interview I said I used Nmap and they thought I had no experience in vulnerability scanning

[mikailkaratas]

Thanks for the video! First time I am practicing this tool and it is pretty cool how they show you all vulnerabilities in your network with details.

I liked this video and this would be my second time using Nessus. I mostly use Kali Linux & Wireshark.

this is better than online college classes

I'm in 10+2 and I'm into Webapp penetration testing. Started learning about CISSP for knowledge not cert because I don't have experience. Learning bug hunting aside and of course last year of my high school. Any suggestions for next path ?

[neilspector]

I also use SCAP compliance checker to scan assets.

Thank you!! Is there a difference between what is a vulnerability assessment and what is vulnerability management?
