The "Nessus" Project was started by Renaud Deraison in 1998 to provide to the internet community "a free, powerful, up-to-date and easy to use remote security scanner." In 2002, Renaud co-founded Tenable Network Security with Ron Gula, creator of the Dragon Intrusion Detection System and Jack Huffard. Tenable Network Security is the owner, sole developer and licensor for the Nessus Open-Source Scanner source code, the Nessus trademark and the nessus.org domain worldwide.
