Nessus Certification

[valenti]

My head office just implemented this system to their network.

Not sure if can get certification here.

Will taking GPEN actually help

Anyone knows about this?

I don't think you need a certification for Nessus. If you do, you probably aren't very good at security

Yeah GPEN is alright go for it

I am also looking at gpen.. which centre has this course available with certification.. am looking to take this up

If you are asking which Centre, then you dont know about SANS/GIAC or GPEN details.

GPEN is hosted by SANS and SANS will come to Singapore thrice in 2017. SANS Secure March, SANS Cyber Defense, SANS SOS October. That doesnt mean GPEN is available. SANS has multiple courses and brings a few of them to Singapore every year. Your other options is do online via SANS ondemand or Self Study. Just be reminded to be prepared to fork out about 9k for Course+ exam. (With the high USD)

FYI. GPEN doesnt teach anything on Nessus. Nessus is a Vulnerability Scanner. GPEN teaches on Penetration testing. Both are totally different things. Some examples Metasploit, Meterpreter, Scapy, John the Ripper, Hydra etc.

Also SANS dont teach on commercial tools. Only Free open source tools for obvious licensing reasons.
