Nessus® Professional automates point-in-time assessments to help quickly identify and fix vulnerabilities, including software flaws, missing patches, malware, and misconfigurations, across a variety of operating systems such as (Windows, Linux, Apple OS, and IBM OS) network devices, and applications.
