Introducing Tenable Security Center 6.8
Our latest release, Tenable Security Center 6.8, introduces several new features and enhancements to streamline your security operations:
Focus on real risk: Stop chasing 60% of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) as High or Critical. Start focusing on the 3% of CVEs that truly matter. Enhanced VPR logic and new AI-powered insights explain why an exposure is significant and provide clear mitigation guidance based on regional and industry-specific threat actor behavior.
Streamlined infrastructure: We’ve unified IPv4, IPv6, and Agent repositories into a single, flexible Asset Repository type to reduce administrative overhead and give you more freedom in how you bucket and analyze your data. You can now target any data, including agent, network scan, and passive data, into any repository.
Asset grouping and customization: The Explore Assets page includes new "Group By" options for Microsoft ID, Network, System Type, and Asset Criticality Rating (ACR). Other enhancements to the Explore Assets page include the ability to edit ACR scores (available in Tenable Security Center Plus) directly in the Explore interface. You can also export findings and installed software for specific assets to a comma-separated values (CSV) file.
Background queries: Start a query and keep working. Tenable Security Center now processes long-running asset searches in the background.
Scan optimization: Prevent performance issues with new per-host timeouts that keep your scan schedules on track to prevent a single host from increasing overall scan time.
Enhanced security: Use at-rest encryption for External PostgreSQL databases and expanded PAM integration for Delinea and BeyondTrust.
Before you upgrade: Tenable Security Center 6.8 supports upgrades from version 6.4.0 and later. Please review the latest updates to Tenable Security Center hardware specifications in the release notes for optimal performance.
