See all platform enhancements >> Tenable Cloud Security Reminder: Tenable Cloud Security requires that you log in to view documentation and release notes. To try/see the product, contact your account manager or request a demo. New use cases and research insights Three new demonstrations of common Tenable Cloud Security uses to ease your path to cloudsec maturity: Ecosystem view of risk, Complete cloud lifecycle visibility and Cloud misconfiguration identification and remediation. Recently published Tenable research items: Gemini Trifecta: Read about the three (now-remediated!) vulnerabilities Tenable cloud research discovered within Google’s Gemini AI assistant suite. Security advisory: “Shai Hulud”: Find packages potentially compromised by this NPM supply chain attack flagged in your Tenable Console as “advisory vulnerabilities.” Take action: 1) Update/roll back affected packages. 2) Rotate secrets that may have been exposed. A new Insight Brief that explores key observations on complexity gleaned from our recent “State of the cloud & AI security” report. Platform: Usability and reporting/display enhancements Streamlined console navigation: Enjoy the new console navigation menu, fully redesigned for a more intuitive and efficient user experience. This major update helps you find the insights/tools you need faster. Column selection for inventory reports: Customize your inventory reports by selecting specific columns for inclusion. Create more focused, efficient reports with just the information you need. TV mode: View any dashboard in this full-screen, distraction-free mode. Use for continuous, real-time, operational display and broad visibility of security status. CWP - Workload protection Enhanced Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR): Benefit from Tenable's enhanced VPR, now twice as efficient. Enable teams to focus on just the 1.6% of vulnerabilities posing real risk, with prioritization inclusive of industry/geo context. See the white paper. Improved coverage and accuracy in vulnerability detection: The addition of scoped NPM packages enhances visibility into Node.js workloads. No more flagging in unused kernel versions improves Linux workload vulnerability detection accuracy. Added granularity to Kubernetes workload vulnerability management: Directly map vulnerability findings in container images to specific Kubernetes workloads (e.g., EKS). This enhancement clarifies risk attribution and streamlines remediation by application or team. IAM - Identity and access management Configure trusted vendors: Tenable now lets you mark external vendors as trusted. This helps reduce finding severity and close toxic combinations, and focus monitoring on meaningful external access to make risk management more efficient. Learn more. Automatically remediate unused SSO permissions: Quickly identify and remove inactive SSO groups or users with a single click to streamline your risk mitigation process. This strengthens least-privilege enforcement and reduces identity risk. JIT - Just-In-Time Access Expanded Slack actions: We’ve enhanced Slack support with key actions available in the JIT Portal, including self-revoking active sessions and submitting recurring access requests. These updates make JIT workflows in Slack faster and more productive to drive adoption of this high-value feature. Read about JIT access here. Tenable Vulnerability Management Accelerate plugin testing with quicker agent updates Speed up your plugin testing workflows and deploy the most recent plugins faster using the new Accelerated Plugin Updates feature. This provides an additional toggle within your agent profiles. When enabled, the agent will check in more frequently than the default to look for any changes made to the plugin scheduling section “Select Plugin set from last 30 days.” This increased check-in frequency helps you shorten the time it takes to get tested plugins onto assets. Note that this feature only supports updates to the “Select Plugin set from last 30 days” setting, and does not impact any other plugin update configurations. Find more details in the documentation. Granular control with Agent scan by tag Achieve highly granular control over your vulnerability management by leveraging the new Agent Scan By Tag feature. This empowers you to target your agent scans using both the existing agent group criteria and the asset tags you have defined. This streamlines your scanning workflows by allowing you to zero in on specific asset environments, ownership groups, or criticality levels. Please note, this functionality is currently only supported for scheduled agent scans. To begin configuring your new, targeted scans, read the documentation or release notes. Tenable Nessus Nessus 10.10 Early Access for Nessus 10.10 includes the following features: Global timeout setting to define the maximum duration for a host scan. Support for the upcoming software and plugin updates via scanner profiles for Tenable Vulnerability Management-linked scanners. Support for the upcoming Tenable Vulnerability Management plugin download concurrency feature. Support for the upcoming CPU resource limit setting for Tenable Agents, which will be configurable via agent profiles in Tenable Nessus Manager. To opt in to Early Access, contact your Tenable representative or configure the Nessus Update Plan in the user interface. See release notes. Ended support for Terrascan in Nessus Tenable has ended support for the Terrascan feature, effective Sept. 30, 2025. Terrascan is no longer available for download or supported, and Tenable has removed all related Terrascan functionality from Tenable Nessus. Tenable recommends using Tenable Cloud Security for infrastructure as code (IaC) scanning going forward. For more information, see the Tenable Nessus Terrascan End-of-Service FAQ.

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.

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.

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!
