Hello, good morning! The Nessus is used to perform scans in the environment in order to find vulnerabilities in the assets configured in the tool, and based on what is found, Nessus details each risk, how to fix it, the criticality of the risk among other guidelines. It can also be used to integrate with other tools to perform the scan as well and bring more detailed information, in more informative dashboards directed towards a specific risk.
