I've been collecting comments made to me by various Nessus users and Tenable customers about what it means to be compliant. This is by no means scientific, but I only put stuff on this list that I've heard more than once. PCI requires full scans of all 65,000 Ports

All Log Correlation Engine licenses include the stats daemon. This daemon reads any log source, including netflow or sniffed TCP sessions, builds a baseline of normal activity and then creates alerts when there is activity which is statistically significant.

We've gotten requests for more webinars on a variety of topics. Below is the current schedule of webinars presented by Tenable in the month of October. These include an additional "Future of Vulnerability Management" talk, as well as sessions on the Nessus 3 compliance audit capabilities, network behavioral anomaly detection and passive SCADA network monitoring.

If you are faced with the task of finding network probes and attacks in an endless stream of IDS, firewall, netflow and application events, then using one or more honeypots to help find low-and-slow probes, stealthy attacks and internal abusers may be for you.

If you've invested a lot of money into a commercial patch management system or perhaps you've grown your own, how do you know how effective it is? With Nessus's agent-less host based patch audits, it can effectively be used to understand how effective your patching solution has been. It can also be used to identify hosts which are not being patched or are under management.
