Hi Craig, Tenable offers commercial solutions that greatly enhances what management, as well as all users throughout your organization, can get out of Nessus. Nessus users can subscribe to the Direct Feed and perform compliance audits against standards from the NSA, NIST and Center for Internet Security and many other places. Direct Feed users can also use Nessus to scan systems for files containing credit cards, social security numbers, adult content and other types of sensitive data. The Direct Feed also includes support and the ability to scan for the very latest checks which is also of interest to most corporate managers. The direct feed costs $1200/year which is slightly more than what most people pay for cable. http://www.tenablesecurity.com/products/direct.shtml Tenable also offers the Security Center which is a web based application that manages multiple Nessus scanners, multiple events fro various NIDS and enables reporting based on many different types of business, technology or functional assets. This includes a Windows based 3D reporting and visualization tool, scheduled PDF report generation, the ability to download any report as a spread sheet and an interactive web based interface that allows any user in the organization to navigate just their compliance, vulnerability and IDS events. The Security Center is priced by unique active scanned IP address. For 500 servers, it costs $15,750. The Direct Feed subscription is included with each Security Center license as well. http://www.tenablesecurity.com/products/sc.shtml Video demos of many of these products are available online at: http://www.tenablesecurity.com/demos/videos.shtml Ron Gula, CTO Tenable Network Security _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
