Tenable's Nessus scanner and Passive Vulnerability Scanner both have received 5 stars from SC Magazine and given a rating of "Recommended".

Nessus 3 was recently tested by Network Computing Magazine. They demonstrated how Nessus 3, subscribed to a Direct Feed, can audit the configuration of a remote Windows system using Nessus' compliance checks as well as other useful tools. Please see Tenable's blog for more information. 

Brent Huston of Information Security Magazine profiles Tenable's Security Center 3.0 in the July 2006 Issue of Information Security Magazine. "The complete package [Security Center, Nessus, Passive Vulnerability Scanner and Log Correlation Engine], however, will give your organization one of the more comprehensive VM solutions available."

Security Center allows you, among other things, to manage from a single point all the Nessus scanners deployed inside your network.

Renaud Deraison and Nicolas Pouvesle will hold a Nessus dojo at CanSecWest, entitled "Turning Nessus into Metasploit". It will take place on April 3 - 5. The goal of this class is to teach students how to use the modular Nessus architecture to fit their needs, be it to turn Nessus into a massively automated pen-test tool or to massively perform UNIX administration commands via SSH

We are happy to announce the Nessus (and its sibling NeWT) were selected as SC Magazine's Best Buy in the pure scanner category during a recent comparison they made. SC Magazine called Nessus/NeWT an "Excellent well-established product with strong community support.".

In other news, yesterday was Microsoft Tuesday. We've released a number of plugins to cover each advisory.

Renaud Deraison discusses the release of Nessus 3 and changes done over the last 12 months, as well as network security in general in scip Monthly Security Summary (in German). The interview was conducted by Marc Ruef.
