Manage Your View
Nessus Pro gives you the ability to group vulnerabilities by several factors. You can also “snooze” select issues to have them disappear from view until you're ready to address them. It's a game-changer, allowing you to focus on the most urgent issues without distraction or noise.
Snooze Vulnerabilities
When you snooze a vulnerability, it is removed from the default view of your scan results for your chosen length of time. Once the period expires, the vulnerability appears back in your list.
Severity Indicator
See scan information including an overall breakdown of the severity levels present within the scan results.
Scan Overview
grouped view
Gauge the priority level for a group of vulnerabilities. If all vulnerabilities in a group have the same severity, Nessus displays that severity level. If the severity differs, Nessus shows a mixed severity level.
Vulnerability Grouping
Grouped View helps you quickly understand the weaknesses on your systems by grouping vulnerabilities by different factors such as host or plugin. For example, you can group all the SSL vulnerabilities in a single row to clearly see which part of the host is most vulnerable.
You can customize how long the vulnerability is snoozed – once the period expires, the vulnerability appears back in your list of scan results.
Scan on your schedule
The plugin in output shows the exact reason why each host is vulnerable.
Understanding Results
Each vulnerability includes instructions on how to resolve or patch.
Clear Remediation
We include all of the vulnerability information including CVSS 2 and 3 scores
