Nessus Agents help organizations meet the challenges of an increasingly mobile workforce by providing visibility into parts of an organization’s network that would have previously been difficult or impossible to scan like transient devices and other remote assets that intermittently connect to the internet. Agents provide increased flexibility and scan accessibility, while giving organizations options for scanning their networks and deploying Nessus. Combining traditional scanning with agent-based scanning ensures you have full visibility into all your IT assets to minimize cyber risk.
