Nessus Perimeter Service

Tenable's Nessus Perimeter Service including the Tenable PCI Scanning Service is an enterprise-class remote vulnerability scanning and PCI Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) validation service. Nessus Perimeter Service audits Internet-facing IP addresses for network and web application vulnerabilities and validates compliance to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements.

Nessus Perimeter Service is hosted in Tenable's secure datacenter. Subscribers can access Perimeter Service through a web browser or via the free Tenable Nessus App for iPhone, Android, and iPod touch, providing access to vulnerability scans and compliance reports from anywhere, anytime.

An intuitive interface allows administrators to launch scans and audits, examine vulnerability details, submit scans for PCI ASV validation, and generate reports. Perimeter Service also creates the appropriate certification documentation needed to submit to an acquiring bank.
