Azure Cloud Infrastructure Scanning for Government
Summary
As CISA BOD 25-01: Implementing Secure Practices for Cloud Services is being implemented, Tenable customers need a method to scan their cloud configuration for compliance. Tenable has enabled the ability to authenticate against the US Government national cloud in Microsoft Azure.
Authentication Environment
To accomplish the scanning of national clouds in Microsoft Azure, the Microsoft Azure credential has been enhanced to include the Authentication Environment preference. This preference has the default value of "Global", with an added value of "US-Gov".
To use the credential in the US Government national cloud, Tenable customers will need access to the cloud being specified and have setup application access to the instance by following the procedures in Configure Azure for a Compliance Scan.
