How to manage Nessus scans

Once performed, Nessus scans can be further segregated into folders to avoid different scans being clustered together. This also allows the auditor easy access to the results. A user can create/delete/move/copy the scans on Nessus. In this recipe, we will be looking at various operations that a user can perform on a completed Nessus scan.

Getting ready

This section is the same as the Getting ready section of the How to manage Nessus policies recipe. This recipe will also require that the user has studied and completed the previous recipes in this chapter.
