Synopsis

Tenable Sensor Proxy is installed on the remote host.

Description

Tenable Sensor Proxy is installed on the remote host. Sensor Proxy provides an on-prem cache and single point of traffic between Tenable.io and Nessus Agents or Nessus scanners. Sensors send communication to Sensor Proxy, not to Tenable.io directly. As a result, large numbers of sensors can communicate with Tenable.io with less bandwidth usage.
