Free Security Vulnerability Scan from Edgeos

Absolutely! Nessus (and nmap, Whisker, Nikto, etc...) is a great tool.
That is why Edgeos uses it and has been actively contributing to Nessus'
development for the past 18 months. Very good stuff, indeed. Edgeos adds a
lot of additional value and features over vanilla Nessus, but you are
right, Nessus is a great tool.
