NESSUS Plugins - schedule or manually update?

[thehorse13]

Go to www.nessus.org and click download. Select Tenable neWT2.2. (Hah, this is the actual spelling. I must have been on crack yesterday. I spelled it like the reptile - knewt).

neWT is the Win32 version of the Nessus engine like previously mentioned. I personally don't run anything on Win32 that I can on *nix so I have no specifics on its use.

patches, hot-fixes, service packs, etc a machine would be missing and perhaps the ability to do trend analysis.

It already does this.

It does? Aww crap. WTH was I thinking. Ok - just checked on their site:

http://www.iss.net/products_services...s_features.php

And it does mention what we were requesting and if we (me and my colleagues) had bothered to read the page, we would have seen that part of what we are asking for is included when SiteProtector is used in conjunction with IS. And we just found out that our suggestions for the above is leading in us purchasing SiteProtector. Thanks for the head's up and reminding me to read and think before reacting. DOH!
