Attackers know this and exploit non-human identities (NHIs) to move laterally, escalate privileges and maintain persistence. Tenable Identity Exposure helps you detect and manage risk across NHIs, mapped to the OWASP NHI Top 10, so you can stay ahead of evolving attack surfaces, especially across Active Directory and Entra ID. Want a deeper dive? Watch the on-demand webinar: Rage Against the Machines: How to Protect Your Org’s Machine Identities. Explore the user guide to start securing your NHIs today. Tenable Vulnerability Management (TVM) Enhancements to VPR now available! Tenable is thrilled to announce the general availability of enhanced Tenable Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) in the new Explore views and the Vulnerability Intelligence section within Tenable Vulnerability Management. These updates enable you to: 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 so your teams can focus on just 1.6% of vulnerabilities that represent actual risk to your business. You can now leverage an even broader spectrum of threat intelligence and real-time data input to predict near-term exploitation in the wild. Unlock AI-driven insights and explainability: Our new large language model (LLM) powered insights deliver instant clarity to quickly understand why an exposure matters, how threat actors have weaponized it and get clear, actionable guidance for mitigation and risk reduction. See Vulnerability Intelligence for more information. Prioritize with industry and regional context: New metadata provides crucial context to understand if a threat actor is targeting a vulnerability in your specific industry or geographic region. Leverage advanced querying and filtering: The enhanced VPR model is easily accessible for filtering and querying in the new Explore views for faster investigations and response workflows. Original VPR and the enhanced VPR ('VPR (Beta)') scores will coexist for a period of time in Tenable Vulnerability Management. We will communicate future deprecation of the original VPR in advance. For more information, see: Interactive demo Technical white paper FAQ Scoring Explained documentation Tenable OT Security Tenable OT Security 4.3: Enterprise-wide visibility and control Our latest release delivers powerful new features to enhance visibility and control across your operational technology (OT) environment and extended attack surface. Key updates in this release include: OT Agent for Windows: Extend asset discovery to hard-to-reach areas and embedded IoT systems with our new OT Agent for Windows. This lightweight, easy-to-deploy agent leverages your existing IT infrastructure to close critical visibility gaps without the need for additional hardware. Manage agents from a centralized dashboard view, with the ability to configure and schedule asset discovery and other preferences to ensure comprehensive and reliable coverage. ⚙️ Streamlined asset management: Accelerate investigations and better organize your OT/IoT inventory with new asset tags and groups. This new feature extends tagging functionality, making it easier to search for assets and reflect the structure of your environment. For Tenable Enterprise Manager users, we've also added the ability to perform centralized data updates and ruleset changes for multiple sites in batches or simultaneously, ensuring consistent administration across distributed locations. Enhanced Tenable One data integration: New data integrations allow you to accelerate investigations and proactively remediate OT risk. Tenable OT Security now reports policy events as Findings in Tenable One, giving you more visibility into events like controller code modifications and intrusion detection. This means Tenable One users can now filter for “Policy Violations" to quickly identify and address potential risks to OT environments. Additional enhancements in Tenable One include a set of new OT-related Exposure Signals, new data integrations for attack path analysis and MITRE ATT&CK mapping capabilities, and more. Additional user interface enhancements in v4.3: Asset serial number lookup via inventory Updated Sensor page navigation System Log pagination For more information, watch the latest customer update and review the full release notes. Tenable Web App Scanning API assessment enhancement: Support for GraphQL GraphQL API Assessment is now live in Tenable WAS! Use case and impact: APIs are the foundation of modern web applications and a high-value target for attackers. While Tenable already supports scanning RESTful APIs, an increasing number of applications now use GraphQL, a modern and flexible query language. With the addition of GraphQL scanning, Tenable now provides broader coverage across the modern API attack surface to help customers secure both REST and GraphQL-based applications. To get an idea of the rising popularity, both Tenable OT and Tenable Cloud Security are GraphQL APIs!
