Re: Vulnerability scanners - what do you use? What seems to be successful for your environment?

Catherine,

We use Nessus Pro. I have not found a big difference between the
results Nessus returns versus the other much more expensive offerings.
I believe the Nessus Pro feed is around 1,200 dollars a year.

Greetings!



I am beginning to do some research into vulnerability scanners to be
used in
assessing infrastructure weaknesses here at the University at Buffalo.
I'm
wondering if folks out there might be willing to share with us what
they're
using, if anything, and any experiences (good or bad) you've had with
any of
these products.



Many thanks in advance for your assistance.



Sincerely,

Cathy
