Does anyone use a commercial scanner - something like Tenable? The software
would allow us to set up accounts and delegate rights for some of our system
administrators to run their own scans. The management console would allow us
to review results from all of the scans. Does anyone use a commercial
appliance and if not, does anyone have a home-grown Nessus interface that
makes using Nessus in a distributed environment easier?



Thanks.
