We're excited to announce the general availability of Nessus 10.9! This latest release brings powerful new capabilities designed to enhance your vulnerability assessment, offering greater flexibility, improved efficiency, and deeper insights into your security posture.

What's New in Nessus 10.9?

Nessus 10.9 introduces several key features to empower your security teams:

• Offline Web Application Scanning in Nessus Expert: For organizations with strict network segmentation or air-gapped environments, Nessus 10.9 now enables comprehensive web application scanning functionality. This ensures that your critical web applications, even in isolated networks, receive the same thorough security assessment as those in connected environments, helping you maintain a consistent security baseline across your entire infrastructure. This functionality is available in Nessus Expert only. 
• Triggered Agent Scans in Nessus Manager: Automatically initiate vulnerability scans via Nessus Manager in response to specific events. This means you can gain immediate insights into your security posture as soon as new assets are discovered or critical system changes occur. This functionality will be enabled directly through Tenable Security Center in July. 
• Agent Version Declaration for Offline Environments in Nessus Manager: Simplify the management of your Nessus Agents in air-gapped or offline deployments. With Nessus 10.9, you can now declare agent versions for Nessus Manager agent profiles, streamlining updates and ensuring your agents are running the desired software versions, even without direct internet connectivity.
• Agent Safe Mode Status Reporting in Nessus Manager: Get better visibility into the health and operational status of your Nessus Agents. Nessus 10.9 provides reporting on "Agent Safe Mode" status, giving you insights into agents that may be experiencing issues or operating in a limited capacity. This allows for quicker identification and resolution of agent-related problems, ensuring uninterrupted scanning coverage.
