Best practices
Use these best practices to get the most from your investment and set the foundation for becoming a power user:
- Extend scan coverage and increase visibility into hard to scan assets by installing Nessus Agents locally on hosts and relayed through a Nessus Manager to Tenable Security Center.
- Ensure Nessus Scanners are placed on the target side of any firewall, VPN, or geographical segregated connections to ensure the most accurate data and least disruption to network operations.
- Utilize the Tenable vulnerability priority rating (VPR) and the Tenable Asset Criticality Rating (ACR) to prioritize the remediation of the highest risk vulnerabilities on the most important hosts first.
- Run credentialed scans for the most accurate picture of your environment. Read benefits and limitations to learn which sensors are best for your environment.
- Ensure previously discovered vulnerabilities have been remediated by running a remediation scan. Then, use the vulnerability state filter to track remediation metrics.
- Set up accept/recast rules to modify vulnerability severity or accept the risk altogether based on your organization's unique environment.
- Consider product integrations to increase efficiencies and gain context across your exposure data. For more information view Tenable Ecosystem Partners.
