Description
In this video, we walk through how to install Tenable Nessus agents on Ubuntu Linux. Whether you are deploying to a single virtual machine or performing a mass deployment of Linux agents across an enterprise environment, this guide covers all the essential commands you need.
Proper sensor deployment is a critical foundation for both tenable vulnerability management and tenable exposure management. We start by locating the official documentation and the correct download files directly from Tenable. This ensures you are pulling the exact version required for your operating system.
The tutorial demonstrates how to build and use a curl command to download the Ubuntu Linux installation file directly to your machine, as well as how to resolve common errors like a missing curl package. From there, we cover installing the software package, starting the Nessus agent service, and correctly linking the agent to your console using your unique key and group parameters. Finally, keep in mind that it may take a little bit of time for the newly deployed agent to show up as healthy and online in your console. #TenableVulnerabilityManagement #TenableExposureManagement #NessusAgent #LinuxSecurity #Ubuntu #CyberSecurity @Tenable @TenableProductEducation
