Re: Web Application Vulnerability Scanner

[Brian Laing <brian () redseal net>]

Jax,
	There are multiple levels to this.  If you look at https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/pdfs/asv_report.html 
 you can se a list of approved scanning vendors.  Oddly enough nessus  
is not listed while rapid7 and qualys are.  So while some of the  
vendors on this list use nessus the product itself does not qualify as  
an approved scanner.  Hope this helps.

Brian
