Lockdown devices and ports on endpoints so that you can stop propagation of any virus if it's detected but performance utilization can be better
It's scalable in the form of it now covers mobile devices as well as a number of other different types of devices, not just Windows. Also, there's no limit as to how many devices you can install it on. We plan to expand the number of devices/users as we get more people onboard or upgrade to more mobile devices; we will then increase the number of licenses for mobile devices. We've got 450 licenses, but we've got about 375 devices and users currently. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. There's not a product yet that I've found that I can't put it on, especially now that they've got the new release, which was the mobile agents.

Has enabled me to reduce false positives and perform deep credential auditing with seamless integrations
I mostly use the configuration audit feature for the audit configuration as a scan policy, and I will use it for credential audit, which helps me scan credentials access such as local administrator or root access, performing a deeper and more accurate check of local configuration settings and file systems, making it a highly recommended feature. Regarding integration capabilities, we can integrate Tenable Nessus with SIM tools such as Splunk, IBM QRadar, and Azure Sentinel, as well as with ticketing systems such as ServiceNow, Jira, and Slack. There is no complexity as it is very easy to integrate everything. In terms of the reporting feature, while vulnerability scanning can throw some false positives, Tenable Nessus has very few, achieving a reduction of 75% to 80% false positives with manual analysis needed. We can generate standard Nessus reports that typically include host summaries and vulnerabilities by host and plugin, alongside solutions and remediation recommendations. The main benefits I get from Tenable Nessus are complete asset inventory and comprehensive attack surface management, allowing us to prioritize vulnerabilities based on risk, focusing on true risk and threat path analysis.
