Tenable Identity Exposure Tenable Identity Exposure uncovers Storm-0501's cloud identity threats: Financially motivated threat actor Storm-0501 is advancing cloud-based ransomware and hybrid identity compromises to move seamlessly between on-premises Active Directory (AD) and Microsoft Entra ID. Tactics include initial identity exploitation that compromises AD and abuses non-human synced Global Admin accounts in Entra ID, along with malicious persistence, where they establish backdoors by adding rogue federated domains with tools like AADInternals to gain persistent access and impersonation capabilities. Attacker tactic How Tenable Identity Exposure prevents it Initial compromise Flags high-privilege, improperly synced Entra ID accounts from on-prem AD, a configuration Microsoft advises against. MFA bypass Identifies critical, privileged accounts missing MFA, one of the most exploited gaps in hybrid identity attacks. Malicious persistence Detects backdoor federated domains and anomalous signing certificates using multiple indicators of exposure (IOEs), including: Known Federated Domain Backdoor, Federation Signing Certificates Mismatch, Unusual Federation Certificate Validity, Federated Domains List for verification against legitimate IDPs. Tenable Identity Exposure continuous monitoring of IoEs uncovers and aids remediation of critical identity risks before groups like Storm-0501 can exploit them.

Introducing Enhancements to VPR in Tenable Vulnerability Management!
Today, we launched enhancements to Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) in Tenable Vulnerability Management. These updates provide unmatched precision, AI-driven insights, and contextual understanding to help your security teams prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities more efficiently. How this benefits you: Sharpen precision to focus on what matters most: While traditional CVSS scores classify 60% of CVEs as High or Critical, our original VPR reduced this to 3%. The enhanced VPR further refines this, helping your teams focus on just 1.6% of vulnerabilities that represent actual risk to your business. This is achieved by leveraging an even broader spectrum of threat intelligence and real-time data input used to predict near-term exploitation in the wild. Unlock AI-driven insights and explainability: Our new LLM-powered insights deliver instant clarity, helping you quickly understand why an exposure matters, how it has been weaponized by threat actors, and providing clear, actionable guidance for mitigation and risk reduction. Prioritize with industry and regional context: New metadata provides crucial context, helping you understand if a vulnerability is being targeted in your specific industry or geographic region. Leverage advanced querying & filtering: The enhanced VPR model is easily accessible for filtering and querying in the new Explore views, which display Assets and Findings data, enabling faster investigations and response workflows. Both the original VPR and the enhanced VPR (referred to in-product as 'VPR (Beta)') will coexist for a period of time in Tenable Vulnerability Management, ensuring you can make a smooth transition. Future deprecation of the original VPR will be communicated in advance. To learn more about the enhancements to VPR, see the solution overview and click-through demo. For additional information, see our FAQ, release notes, and Scoring Explained help documentation.Nessus 10.9 is Now Generally Available!

Tenable Identity Exposure Tenable’s Research-Driven Identity Defense Expands Tenable continues to deepen its coverage of real-world identity risks with a series of new indicators of exposure (IoEs) across both Active Directory (AD) and Entra ID. BadSuccessor—a rare, but forest-level critical, zero-day privilege escalation vulnerability in AD, was recently disclosed. Introduced with delegated Managed Service Accounts (dMSAs) in Windows Server 2025, its exposure depends on the presence of a 2025 domain controller, but the impact can be severe. An attacker with the right permissions could use a dMSA to inherit domain admin-level access and compromise the entire forest. Tenable has responded quickly with a dedicated IoE: BadSuccessor – Dangerous dMSA Permissions, now available in Tenable Identity Exposure (SaaS) v3.95. This detection flags risky dMSA inheritance paths that could enable exploitation, helping organizations stay ahead even in the absence of a Microsoft patch. Review Tenable’s technical advisory and FAQ for detailed context. More IoEs targeting real-world risk Other new IoEs target misconfigurations and gaps attackers routinely exploit, spanning Tier 0 risks in AD and hygiene issues in Entra ID. Each IoE is designed to be practical, observable and relevant, shaped by real attack behaviors, not just theoretical risks. Check out this product documentation for more information. Active Directory Tenable IoE “Sensitive Exchange Group Members” Who really sits in the most privileged Exchange groups: a Tier‑0 foothold. Tenable IoE “Exchange Permissions” Risky ACLs where Exchange rights bleed into domain control. Entra ID Tenable IoE “Users Allowed to Join Devices” Tenant setting that lets any user enroll a rogue workstation. Tenable IoE “Managed Devices Not Required for Auth” Conditional‑access gap allowing unmanaged logins. Tenable IoE “Auth‑Methods Migration Incomplete” Legacy authentication policy is still exposed. Tenable IoE “Dangerous Application Permissions” Third‑party app scopes that can exfiltrate data. Tenable IoE “Risky Users Without Enforcement” Risk‑based access policy missing for high‑risk accounts. Tenable Cloud Security Reminder: Tenable Cloud Security requires you to log in to view documentation. To access the documentation or try Tenable Cloud Security, contact your account manager or request a demo. Enhanced CVE detection and customizable severity metrics Tenable Cloud Security now enhances CVE detection by integrating Tenable's vulnerability logic, leveraging the Tenable vulnerability data lake (TVDL) and Nessus. This improves accuracy and coverage in detecting new CVEs regardless of National Vulnerability Database (NVD) delays. The integration aligns CVE detection between Tenable Cloud Security and Tenable Vulnerability Management, reducing inconsistencies and boosting reliability within Tenable One. Users can select which CVE severity metric to display first: CVSS (static) or VPR (dynamic, factoring exploit likelihood). The metric chosen as primary impacts finding creation: severity changes can cause related findings to open or close. Just-in-time by resource groups and recurring access Thanks to your feedback, Just-in-Time (JIT) access is now even more powerful and flexible. Azure users can request access at the resource group level, not just by subscription, giving you greater granularity and control across your cloud environments. And for all JIT users, building on existing immediate/scheduled access request support, we’ve added recurring access scheduling — to better support business workflows, such as a contractor needing project access for a specified repeat duration or the need for access to a routine audit that lasts a full quarter. Easily set daily, weekly or monthly schedules with end dates — all through an intuitive UI. Consider using recurring access to replace standing permissions that some JIT users may still have, for more granular time-bound least privilege. Powerful Tenable cloud vulnerability insights within ServiceNow Tenable now integrates with ServiceNow’s new Vulnerability Response platform, enabling you to seamlessly import prioritized, actionable vulnerability data directly into ServiceNow. This streamlined integration, which also supports government environments, helps teams focus on what matters most by aligning Tenable findings with your existing remediation workflows, making it easier to act fast on critical risks. Already using ServiceNow ticketing? You can now sync Tenable findings with ServiceNow incidents, mapping severity and status to priority and state (such as open findings to new incidents). Note: Syncing incident states requires additional permissions and configuration within ServiceNow. Selectively scan data resources by exclusion tags You can now add exclusion tags to fine-tune scans of both managed databases and object storage in Tenable Cloud Security. Exclusion tags enable you to scope out resources starting from the next scanning cycle by specifying tags as configured at the resource level, for tailoring scans to your environment. This new capability helps you decrease costs by reducing unnecessary resource usage. Object storage comes to OCI As part of our growing capabilities around Oracle Cloud, Tenable Cloud Security now offers data analysis of object storage buckets in OCI. Out of the box, the feature is on a par with all other object storage that Tenable Cloud Security supports and is part of routine CSPM onboarding. In other updates, new dynamic scan scoping by tag is also supported for OCI. Tenable Vulnerability Management (TVM) Tenable Data Stream (TDS) now supports the streaming of TVM Host Audit Findings data as well as WAS assets, tags and findings data. TDS already supports TVM host assets, tags and vulnerabilities data streaming to AWS S3 buckets and is used by some of the largest TVM customers. Learn more about TDS here. Besides the new payloads, there are a few more improvements: Additional new fields in TVM findings payload like Resurfaced Data and Time Taken to Fix Grouping of the files written in the AWS S3 buckets is now based on timestamp, resulting in fewer files written, which in turn improves consumption and reduces latency. (Previously, this was based on both scan ID and timestamp, which resulted in writing a large number of small files.) Tenable Patch Management Tenable Patch Management now supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) We’re excited to announce that Tenable Patch Management (On-Prem) 9.2.967.20 now supports RHEL 8 and RHEL 9. This release also includes performance improvements, bug fixes, and an important security update to Java 17 JRE. Please note that Patch Notification Bots using WhatsApp require review and modification as they can no longer be combined with other providers. Please visit here for a list of third-party applications covered. Note: We are always adding more. For more information, please read the Tenable Documentation and Release Notes and visit the Downloads Portal for the latest version. Tenable OT Security Upgrade to Tenable OT Security 4.2 to unlock new layers of visibility across your OT/IT environment. Key enhancements in this release include: Advanced SNMP-based asset discovery: Gain deeper OT network topology insight. Our new SNMP Crawler discovers and maps all connected devices and switches, including previously hidden ones, down to the specific switch port. Intelligent hardware lifecycle management: Proactively manage obsolescence with EOL tracking for OT/IoT assets from vendors such as Schneider Electric and Siemens, complementing existing software EOL capabilities. Flexible Windows-based deployment (beta): Install OT Security sensors directly on Windows devices — ideal for segmented subnets or where deploying dedicated physical hardware appliances isn’t feasible. Enhanced IoT & VMS risk insights: With improved IoT connectors and expanded VMS support through enhanced credentialed authentication, extract richer data from IoT devices and VMS (including asset names, models and stream details). Navigation enhancements: A redesigned main menu and intuitive side panel simplify access to critical OT data, speeding workflows and improving usability.
