Probably the most useful tool available to the security teams out there right now is Nessus Professional Feed. At just under £800 for the year it is exceptionally good value for month and provides the flexibility to cover the vast majority of security auditing requirements you could want from a scanner. Recently I have been using it extensively for PCI scanning within our networks both internally and externally and found that the only thing that could do with further work is the reporting engine.
For in depth information on how to configure Nessus for PCI scanning, visit the tenable security blog here.
