Certainly. I assume you're familiar with using certificates with Nessus 
in general.

First, you'll need private keys / certificates signed by your company's 
CA for the Nessus servers themselves as well as for any users doing 
certificate-based authentication.

Second, replace the keys / certificates generated by Nessus and update 
the configuration files for the servers and any clients as necessary to 
point to the new files. Don't forget to point each to your company's 
certificate authority!

Third, if you're using certificate-based authentication, you'll need to 
update the 'dname' file for each user in the Nessus servers' users 
databases (eg, /opt/nessus/var/nessus/users/*/auth/dname) with the 
correct subjects from the new user certs.

Finally, make sure the users are aware you've done this; otherwise 
you'll (hopefully :-) get support calls when they connect with a Nessus 
client and are told a server's certificate has changed.
