Tenable Holdings Releases Nessus Essentials

Tenable Holdings (NASDAQ:TENB), a cybersecurity company launched Nessus Essentials, a free vulnerability scanner to reduce cyber risk exposures and vulnerabilities. The product is designed for individuals seeking to learn more about cybersecurity, while developing better vulnerability assessment awareness and skills.

As quoted in the press release:

Nessus Essentials now includes:

• Scan Anywhere: Nessus Essentials replaces Nessus Home, eliminating the previous restriction on only using Nessus for personal, non-commercial use.

• Tenable Research and Community: Receive Cyber Exposure alerts and join the Tenable Community discussion from directly within Nessus Essentials for the latest information on plugins, major vulnerabilities and original reports plus a peer network for discussion and collaboration. In 2019 to date, Tenable Research has published 77 original zero-day vulnerabilities, 99 percent more than the closest competitor.

• Classroom Guides: Educators around the world can build vulnerability assessment lesson plans and curriculum leveraging Nessus.

• In-Product Tutorials and Guidance: Help new users create scans and analyze results. A free course and certification for Nessus Essentials will be made available later in 2019.
