Nessus iPhone App

Posted on 16 September 2010

Yesterday, Tenable Network Security, Inc. released Nessus for the iPhone.

I’m pretty excited to see more of these types of Apps showing up on mobile devices. The information security sector although very technical by nature seems to have been left behind when it comes to usability and native integration.

Our industry needs and wants more access to this data and it seems the guys over at Tenable feel the same way we do.

The Nessus App along with the Aanval iPhone / iPad App makes mobile network security management that much easier with nessus and snort in your pocket.

If you are a Nessus user, go snag it.

Description (from iTunes App Store)

The Nessus iPhone app, from Tenable Network Security Inc., enables you to log into your Nessus scanners and start, stop and pause vulnerability scans as well as analyze the results directly from your iPhone.

This mobility helps improving the efficiency of your Incident Response process by letting you quickly log into a Nessus scanner from your phone to search previous scan results or check the status of an on-going scan.

(Requires an access to version 4.2 of the Nessus server, or newer)

Enjoy.
