Which of the following is a type of Tenable.sc sensor?

A Tenable.sc sensor is designed to collect and analyze data from different network environments. The Nessus agent fits this definition, as it is deployed on endpoints and operates by performing vulnerability assessments directly on those devices. Once the assessments are completed, the agent reports back to the Tenable.sc system, allowing for a comprehensive view of the security posture across the network.

The Nessus agent is particularly useful in environments where assets may not always be connected to the network, enabling continuous monitoring and assessment even in scenarios such as remote work or when devices are offline. This capability helps organizations maintain a robust understanding of their vulnerabilities and compliance status.

In contrast, Nessus hosts, security agents, and Fortinet scanners do not serve the same function as a Tenable.sc sensor. While they may be related to security assessments, they do not specifically fit the context of a sensor that integrates with Tenable.sc for data collection in the same way that Nessus agents do.
