Nessus Vulnerability Scanner
We retired NeXpose as our vulnerability scanner at the end of
September, 2012. In its place, we offer Nessus.
| Feed |
Information Security has purchased a Professional Feed for Nessus, the
popular vulnerability scanner from Tenable Network Security.
|
| Service |
If you are a Local Support Provider, you are welcome to use it to scan
your hosts on Penn's network. Even if you have a license of your own,
you might like to see your network from an outside perspective.
