Stand-Alone Systems

Good morning. My question pertains to stand-alone networks. We are in the process of evaluating Nessus for one of our stand-alone systems. If we where to purchase Nessus, would we be able to download only the plug-in's and install them on our scan box that is inside the network? My scan box will not have any outside (internet) connections so it will not be able to download any updates. Also what are the limitations on the number of machines I can scan with a purchaced professional copy? Thanks much....

If you check the site there are instructions for downloading plugins for use
with a non-Internet connected scanner. To my knowledge there are no limits
to how many machines can be scanned using nessus and a professional feed. If
you are wanting the Security Center (which is licensed differently than just
purchasing a direct feed) I'd recommend talking directly to the Tenable
folks rather than the general support list.

Hi Scott,

We do have a procedure for offline/manual download of new plugins.

There is no limit of the number of IP addresses you can scan with
Nessus when subscribed to the professional feed. If you are performing
scans of large numbers of IP addresses, I recommend considering the
Security Center for centralized scanning, scheduling reporting and
analysis of your data.

If you have any further questions please email us to sales [at] tenablesecurit
and we will put you in touch with our Federal Govt' Sales team.
