Pinpoint vulnerabilities on your system with Nessus

Finding and fixing vulnerabilities on your systems is not a task you can complete once and then cross off your list�it's an ongoing process that requires diligence and consistent attention. There's never a point when you can feel confident you've discovered every possible vulnerability.Of course, you've hopefully signed up to receive notifications on patches and security updates for every product deployed on your organization's network, which can go a long way toward keeping things secure. However, the only way you can verify that you've successfully closed the vulnerabilities is to perform a vulnerability assessment.

While the days of manual vulnerability assessments are long gone, there are plenty of excellent tools on the market that will assess your systems and determine whether they're up to date against known vulnerabilities. One of the best�and freely available�tools on the market is Nessus.
