Tenable Wins Reader's Choice Award

Nessus, the Security Center and Passive Vulnerabiltiy Scanner were awarded a Reader's Choice award from Information Security magazine and SearchSecurity.com. The winners “were selected based on extensive, in-depth discussions and interviews between the editors of Information Security magazine and SearchSecurity.com and over 1,700 information security executives and managers, who were asked to assess and rate products deployed within their organizations from a listing of more than 380 products spanning 17 product categories. The judging panel then selected Gold, Silver and Bronze award winners within each product category.”

As noted on SearchSecurity.com, “Nessus, offered by Tenable Network Security in conjunction with the company’s Security Center and Passive Scanner products, placed second this year. Readers were especially enthusiastic about the product's accuracy, as well as its ability to integrate with threat management or early warning systems. Other notable features include configuration auditing, asset profiling and high-speed discovery.”
