## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-13 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For a remote team the constraint that actually matters is that there's no perimeter to scan from - laptops live on home Wi-Fi and coffee shop networks, and your infra is SaaS and cloud. So the tools worth naming are cloud-delivered, agent-based, or both. Here's what I'd actually pick, in order:
> 
> **1. Intruder** - My default recommendation for a small-to-midsize remote team. Cloud-hosted, continuous external scanning plus agents for laptops, published pricing starting around $119-149/month, and it deploys in minutes with little tuning. The honest trade-off is that its prioritization isn't as sophisticated as Tenable VPR or Qualys TruRisk - fine until you're managing thousands of assets.

> 
> **2. Tenable Vulnerability Management (with Nessus Agents)** - The one I'd name if you need depth and broad OS coverage. Nessus Agents are specifically the answer to the remote-workforce problem: they report back even from private subnets and non-corporate networks, and they assess machines that are frequently offline by usi
