Make Sure Your Buying The Second Edition June 8, 2008
This book covers the new features included in version 3 of Nessus, including the file content and security check audits that are only available through a direct feed subscription. Other books make cover Nessus but do not cover these new features. I use Nessus with privacy and security audits. This book is a must if you are using Nessus in a professional capacity. I keep track of local security law changes for the United States, and other background regarding using Nessus as a consultant at computersecuritylaw.us. I also recommend this book to non-Nessus using computer security officers, with increased cyber-attacks one should really consider this or other similar product as part of your computer security program.
