Offline Configuration Audit in Nessus Professional
Offline Configuration audits allow Nessus to scan hosts without the need to scan over the network or use credentials, since those actions may be restricted by organizational policies for security reasons. This video demonstrates using Nessus Professional version 8.8 to configure scan details and attach a config file for a Cisco IOS 12 audit. Compliance scanning for multiple security frameworks is supported by Nessus Professional.
