Which of the following statements is true regarding Nessus Agent deployment and linking?

Nessus Agent deployment and linking centers on how the agent data reaches the central vulnerability management platform. The essential idea is that Nessus Agents can report findings back to Tenable Vulnerability Management, allowing centralized visibility and correlation with other scan data. This linking works with either cloud-based or on-prem TVM, so there is no requirement to use a cloud-only option. The agents are designed to collect data on endpoints and transmit it to the management system, even if the device was offline temporarily—the results are sent once connectivity is restored. In short, the primary function is to push findings to TVM, not to operate in isolation or never connect.
