Arcon Network Device Support

Summary

Tenable has added support for additional types of targets when using the Arcon integration.

Change

There is a new optional field, “Arcon Target Type”, which can be set to one of the following:

• windows
• linux
• networkdevices
• application

Depending on the version of Arcon PAM, additional values may be allowed in this field. Please refer to the Arcon PAM specifications document for a full list of valid target types.

When specified, scans using the Arcon integration will query accounts of the specified type. This enables the ability to integrate with, for example, accounts of network devices accessed via SSH.

For example, see the following screenshot of a credential for a network device accessed via SSH.

Impact

There is no impact on existing scan credentials, because the new field is optional. When not specified, the behavior will remain the same.

Release

Immediate for Nessus and VM, TBD for SC.
