The scan’s report is integrated into the customer’s Fibernet Backroom, so it is easily accessible. The remote security scan is hosted by Fibernet and the Agent scan is performed by the host itself. Nessus also allows for the host to be scanned, either remotely by Fibernet or as an ‘agent’ on the customer’s server, as frequently as once daily. System administrators and security firms around the globe rely on this type of service to check routinely the integrity of their services and platforms. Every system, exposed to the Internet, benefits from continual security monitoring. The Nessus service allows the scheduling of consistent monitoring of any network accessible resource by the most up-to-date security monitoring platform available. A critical step, in the monitoring of any system, is regular external scanning of all resources. In today’s world of constantly changing security vulnerabilities and new exploits, no system should be left unmonitored, doing so would lead to a system compromise, potential data loss, ransomware, and any number of business- impacting threats. The average cost of a cyber – security breach is $7 million. “What it does – vulnerability management – it does as well or better than any system we’ve seen and its long history makes it completely reliable.”
