Nessus can be updated either manually, or by scheduling automatic updates. The software update option can be found as a part of the Settings menu. This can be used to schedule daily, weekly, or monthly updates for Nessus software or even just the plugins. By default, Nessus uses its cloud server to download and install the updates, but you can also configure a custom server to download these updates.
