As a government organisation in the UK, we are obliged to purchase through a purchasing consortium such as GCAT. In our particular case we have to use the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO). We can only purchase from suppliers (who can also act as resellers) that service the purchasing frameworks that have been put in place by the purchasing organisation. When we recently enquired about purchasing the commercial feed for Nessus, we were advised that this could not be sourced through a reseller, but has to be purchased directly from Tenable. This means that we are unable to purchase the commercial feed. Although not ideal, upon consideration, we felt that the 7 day delay provided by the registered feed would not be too disadvantageous and we have in the last month or so been evaluating Nessus. This change means that not only would we be unable to access the commercial feed, but we will not also loose the registered feed. The new home feed may be welcome, but, it would not seem consistent with the terms to use this feed as an organisation. This regrettably leaves us with little option but to look for another solution. _ John Chajecki Senior Infrastructure Engineer Information Division Resources Department Leicester City Council _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
