Distributed Vulnerability Scanning

["Sadler, Connie" <Connie_Sadler () BROWN EDU>]

Does anyone use a commercial scanner - something like Tenable? The
software would allow us to set up accounts and delegate rights for some
of our system administrators to run their own scans. The management
console would allow us to review results from all of the scans. Does
anyone use a commercial appliance and if not, does anyone have a
home-grown Nessus interface that makes using Nessus in a distributed
environment easier?

 

Thanks...
