Tenable Network Security has launched the 4.0 version of its Passive Vulnerability Scanner (PVS). PVS has been made available as a standalone product that can be used to monitor networks in real time, in a non-intrusive manner.

PVS leverages network sniffing technology to identify and assess even mobile, virtual and cloud apps to detect security and compliance risks.

“By supplementing a Nessus active scan-based strategy with PVS 4.0, companies can significantly lower their overall security risk, increase compliance and avoid costly security breaches,” said Ron Gula, CEO of Tenable Network Security.

The list of new features integrated into PVS 4.0 includes simplified installation, optimization for portable systems, and an improved interface. Customers can also export web-based data in formats such as .csv, .nessus and .html.
