(Technology Overview)
List types of Tenable.sc sensors correct answers Nessus scanner
Nessus agent
(Technology Overview)
Discuss hardware requirements for various components correct answers Tenable.sc Hardware
8GB of RAM
125GB of Storage
Four(4) 2GHz Cores
Nessus Scanner Hardware
4GB of RAM
30GB of Storage
Four(4) 2GHz cores
(Technology Overview)
Explain how Tenable.sc and Nessus can be deployed in virtualized environments correct answers
It can either be deployed through Tenable Core as a virtual image, or implemented as a
traditional application on supported platforms (i.e. rhel, centos, etc)
(Technology Overview)
Describe licensing for Tenable.sc correct answers - IP in two repositories only counts once
- For multiple network interfaces on single host, each interface actively scanned counts
- Host discovery scans do not count
(Deployment Considerations)
Identify Tenable.sc and Nessus scanners placements in an environment correct answers
Tenable.sc is typically managed by the NOC or SOC.
(Deployment Considerations)
Determine required network connection speed between Tenable.sc and Nessus correct answers
The network connection between Tenable.sc and Nessus should be persistent and be at least
1MBps.
(Deployment Considerations)
Explain factors that should be considered when determining the number of Nessus scanners for
deployment correct answers The number of Nessus scanners required for a deployment depends
on network partitions, network bandwidth, the number of hosts in a network partition and the
types of scans being run.
(Deployment Considerations)
Describe connectivity requirements for Tenable.sc and Nessus scanners correct answers For
every 500 hosts that are being scanned, only one Nessus scanner is needed. However, Nessus
scanners can be configured to scan multiple network partitions.
