About NESSUS

The NESSUS Certification Exam evaluates candidates' proficiency in using the NESSUS vulnerability scanner for cybersecurity assessments and risk management. The exam assesses candidates' understanding of vulnerability scanning techniques, analysis of scan results, remediation strategies, and best practices in vulnerability management.

 

Why is NESSUS important?

A remote security scanning application called Nessus checks a computer and alerts you if it finds any flaws that might allow criminal hackers to access any computer you have linked to a network. Nessus's heritage and the availability of a free version contribute to the program's popularity despite its low awareness. A big part of its 2 million downloads is attributable to its longevity and free version.
