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.
