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.

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.

Include/Exclude Path and Tenable Utils Unzip added to Log4j Detection
Summary Tenable has updated the Apache Log4j detection plugins. The Windows plugin will now honor the Include/Exclude Filepath configuration option. The Linux/UNIX plugin will now use the version of ‘unzip’ supplied with the Nessus Agent, when enabled in the Agent’s configuration, and correctly inspect the MANIFEST.MF and pom.properties files. Change Before this update, plugin 156000, Apache Log4j Installed (Linux / Unix), would fail to detect Log4j in specific scan scenarios. The plugin uses several inspection methods to determine if a JAR file is a copy of Log4j. During Nessus Agent scans, as well as scans with ‘localhost’ as a target, the plugin was not properly executing the unzip command to inspect META-INF/MANIFEST.MF and pom.properties files in the JAR archive. If this method was the only option that would result in a successful detection, the copy of Log4j would not be detected properly. In addition, the plugin had failed to launch the unzip binary supplied with the Agent when inspecting files in JAR archives. Note: The Nessus Agent can be configured to use find and unzip binaries that it provides, instead of those supplied by the asset’s operating system. See https://docs.tenable.com/vulnerability-management/Content/Scans/AdvancedSettings.htm#Agent_Performance_Options for more information. Also before this update, plugin 156001, Apache Log4j JAR Detection (Windows), would fail to honor the directories included or excluded for full-disk searches configured in the Windows Include Filepath and Windows Exclude Filepath directives in the Advanced Settings of a scan config. Note: Configuration of these options is described in https://docs.tenable.com/vulnerability-management/Content/Scans/AdvancedSettings.htm#Windows_filesearchOptions. After this update, plugin 156000 will use the Agent-supplied copy of unzip when configured to do so. If this option is not enabled in the scan config, the plugin will use the existing method to find and execute an archive utility supplied by the asset’s operating system. In either case, the plugin will properly inspect Log4j’s MANIFEST.MF and pom.properties files as a version source. Plugin 156001 already properly inspects these files. Also after this update, plugin 156001’s Powershell code will now honor directories included or excluded by the Filepath directives. Plugin 156000 already supported this feature. Impact When scanning Linux / UNIX assets via 'localhost' (i.e. scanning the scanner itself) or with the Nessus Agent, additional Log4j instances from MANIFEST.MF or pom.properties sources may be reported. For Linux Nessus Agents with "Use Tenable supplied binaries for find and unzip" enabled and "Agent CPU Resource Control - Scan Performance Mode" set to Low, plugin 156000 will now properly limit CPU usage during scans. As noted in the product documentation, “Note: Setting your process_priority preference value to low could cause longer running scans. You may need to increase your scan-window timeframe to account for this value.” Customers should be aware of this configuration setting and potential changes to the results provided in the Log4J detection results. When scanning Windows targets, Log4j JAR files stored in paths specified in the Windows Exclude Filepath configuration will no longer be detected. Log4j JAR files stored in paths or drives specified in the Windows Include Filepath configuration that had not been previously scanned will now be detected, assuming they can be assessed before the plugin’s configured timeout has been reached. Plugins 156000 - Apache Log4j Installed (Linux / Unix) 156001 - Apache Log4j JAR Detection (Windows) Target Release Date September 1, 2025

To access the documentation or try Tenable Cloud Security, contact your account manager or request a demo. Code security for Azure ARM and Bicep frameworks, and APIs. Tenable now natively supports Azure Resource Manager (ARM) and Bicep, expanding on existing coverage for AWS CloudFormation, Kubernetes YAML, and Terraform across all major cloud environments. Azure users can now scan for misconfigurations directly in their infrastructure as code. Notably, Tenable Cloud Security uniquely supports Bicep, which is rapidly gaining adoption due to its simplicity. Tenable tags resources in Bicep files, auto-generates underlying ARM templates, and highlights misconfigurations directly in the Bicep code, so you can work in the Bicep layer without parsing ARM output. We’ve also introduced ingestion of Tenable IaC findings via API using the “Findings” query in the GraphQL API. This enables programmatic management of finding status. The code API has full UI parity and is consistent with all Tenable API endpoints. Workload protection now supports Oracle Cloud Infrastructure + streamlined reporting. Expanding our coverage of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Tenable Cloud Security now offers workload protection for OCI environments. You can scan virtual machines, including those using OCI-native and customer-managed key (CMK) encrypted volumes, alongside container images and account-level resources. Additionally, across all supported cloud environments, we have streamlined reporting: you can now generate reports directly from the Vulnerabilities page, simplifying your workflow. Enhanced IAM security across permissions and access. Tenable Cloud Security’s Microsoft Entra ID integration, recently enhanced with third-party support and MFA monitoring, can now monitor and filter all app API and delegated permissions. IAM admins get a clearer, tenant-wide view of app-level permissions, making it easier to remove unnecessary access. Are you still using the now-retired Microsoft Entra Permissions Management? Tenable is a strong replacement, with advanced CIEM, JIT access, and CNAPP capabilities spanning Entra ID, Azure and more. We’ve also improved IAM visibility for AWS and GCP with exportable Permissions Query results and enhanced tracking of custom policy changes. In GCP, access-level evaluation is now deeper with added behavior analysis and resource details. Introducing custom dashboards that you can easily build in minutes. You’ve got the power! You can now customize how dashboards look and how you present security data to help users focus on what matters most. Personalize dashboards by adjusting metrics, findings and visualizations. Choose whether to make them public or private. Save time by duplicating built-in or custom dashboards. Plus, all dashboards are now centrally located in the menu for easier access. “Projects” capability now supports integrations and automations by scope. Tenable is making it easier to manage accounts and access control across multiple accounts and providers. The Projects capability, which logically groups resources in your cloud environment, now lets you configure integrations and automations at the project level. This enables more granular control and flexibility to let specific accounts or resources follow tailored workflows aligned with your organizational structure and security policies. Tenable Identity Exposure New Entra ID IoEs to strengthen identity hygiene. Tenable has added new indicators of exposure (IoEs) to help you identify and remediate hidden risks in Entra ID environments: Managed devices not required for MFA registration: Flags tenants that allow multi-factor authentication (MFA) registration from devices your organization doesn’t manage. Without requiring managed devices, attackers with stolen credentials could set up their own MFA methods without your knowledge. Admin consent workflow not configured: Detects tenants missing an active admin consent workflow. This absence can cause errors for non-admin users trying to access applications that need consent, leading to user friction or unmonitored workarounds. Password expiration enforced: Identifies domains where password expiration policies, intended to enhance security, might actually weaken it. When you force users to change passwords frequently, they often resort to simpler or repeated passwords, which makes them more vulnerable to breaches. For more information, review the release notes. Tenable Enclave Security Tenable Enclave Security 1.5 release. We’re excited to announce the release of Tenable Enclave Security 1.5. This release includes exciting new features: Deployment assessment scanning: Quickly assess new and updated deployments before they go live, improving visibility and risk reduction during rapid delivery cycles. Expanded software composition analysis (SCA): Broaden insight into your software supply chain with deeper enumeration of third-party libraries and components, including Go, Java, PHP and unpatched vulnerabilities in container images. SecurityCenter 6.6: Now powered by PostgreSQL, the latest version enhances performance, scalability and long-term support for mission-critical environments. Policy management: New and improved experience for managing policies for CI/CD pipelines or Kubernetes clusters. For more information, review the release notes. Tenable Vulnerability Management (TVM) Tenable PCI agent scan template now available. As a result of the PCI DSS 4.x specification release, credentialed scanning is now a requirement for PCI internal scanning. In response, Tenable created the Tenable PCI Agent, which you can use to scan your network via the PCI Internal Nessus Agent scan template in Tenable Vulnerability Management. PCI DSS 4.x enables you to use a customized approach objective. Using PCI DSS 4.x, the PCI Internal Nessus Agent provides the most comprehensive view of local vulnerabilities on your systems. Please visit the Scan Settings site for more details on configuring the PCI Agent and scans. Tenable Patch Management Tenable Patch Management 9.2.967.22 (on-premises). This release features minor quality improvements and bug fixes across the platform. Server updates: Bug fixes: We fixed an issue where the Business Units by Waves column in cycle tables was empty if no deployment waves existed for the cycle owner. Modified the patch server framework component to depend on the feed server, preventing a race condition during registration. Fixed a bug where patching cycles could lose business unit information after a server restart. Improved the update process for supported platforms within existing workflows and activities during server upgrades. Client updates: Bug fixes: Change to WUAHttpServer to include a content-length header on a full GET request for a file. This resolves the Windows Server 2016 patch download issue. Tenable OT Security Tenable OT Security 4.3: Scalable visibility and control for your modern enterprise. The Tenable OT Security 4.3 release delivers powerful new features to enhance visibility and control across your operational technology (OT) environments and entire attack surface. Key updates in this release include: Scalable OT agents: Extend asset discovery to hard-to-reach areas and embedded systems, closing critical visibility gaps with lightweight, easy-to-deploy agents that leverage your existing IT infrastructure. Enhanced Tenable One data integration: Accelerate investigations and improve risk remediation with new Policy Violation Findings and richer Exposure Signals for more comprehensive Attack Path Analysis. Streamlined asset management: Benefit from a responsive Vulnerability Findings side-panel for quick investigations, custom asset tags and groups for better organization, and batch data and ruleset updates in Enterprise Manager to ensure consistent administration across distributed sites or locations. Additional user interface enhancements in v4.3: You can now search the asset serial number in the inventory Updated Sensor page navigation System Log pagination To learn more about what’s new in the latest version of Tenable OT Security, watch the latest customer update and review the release notes. Tenable Nessus Nessus 10.9 is now generally available! Nessus 10.9 introduces several key features to empower your security teams: Offline web application scanning in Nessus Expert: If your organization has strict network segmentation or air-gapped environments, Nessus 10.9 now enables comprehensive web application scanning functionality. This ensures your critical web applications, even in isolated networks, receive the same thorough security assessment as those in connected environments to maintain a consistent security baseline across your entire infrastructure. Triggered agent scans in Nessus Manager: Automatically initiate vulnerability scans via Nessus Manager in response to specific events. This means you get immediate insights into your security posture as soon as the system discovers new assets or critical system changes occur. This functionality will be enabled directly through Tenable Security Center in July. Agent version declaration for offline environments in Nessus Manager: Simplify the management of your Nessus Agents in air-gapped or offline deployments. With Nessus 10.9, you can now declare agent versions for Nessus Manager agent profiles, streamlining updates and ensuring your agents are running the desired software versions, even without direct internet connectivity. Agent safe mode status reporting in Nessus Manager: Get better visibility into our Nessus Agents’ health and operational status. Nessus 10.9 provides reporting on "Agent Safe Mode" status with insights into agents that may experience issues or operate in a limited capacity. This allows for quicker identification and resolution of agent-related problems for uninterrupted scanning coverage. Nessus 10.9 is available now. We encourage all Nessus users to upgrade to take advantage of these new features and continue to strengthen your vulnerability assessment capabilities. For more information, see the Nessus 10.9 release notes and Nessus 10.9 User Guide. You can also view this announcement under Product Announcements in Tenable Connect.

Tenable Identity Exposure Tenable’s Research-Driven Identity Defense Expands Tenable continues to deepen its coverage of real-world identity risks with a series of new indicators of exposure (IoEs) across both Active Directory (AD) and Entra ID. BadSuccessor—a rare, but forest-level critical, zero-day privilege escalation vulnerability in AD, was recently disclosed. Introduced with delegated Managed Service Accounts (dMSAs) in Windows Server 2025, its exposure depends on the presence of a 2025 domain controller, but the impact can be severe. An attacker with the right permissions could use a dMSA to inherit domain admin-level access and compromise the entire forest. Tenable has responded quickly with a dedicated IoE: BadSuccessor – Dangerous dMSA Permissions, now available in Tenable Identity Exposure (SaaS) v3.95. This detection flags risky dMSA inheritance paths that could enable exploitation, helping organizations stay ahead even in the absence of a Microsoft patch. Review Tenable’s technical advisory and FAQ for detailed context. More IoEs targeting real-world risk Other new IoEs target misconfigurations and gaps attackers routinely exploit, spanning Tier 0 risks in AD and hygiene issues in Entra ID. Each IoE is designed to be practical, observable and relevant, shaped by real attack behaviors, not just theoretical risks. Check out this product documentation for more information. Active Directory Tenable IoE “Sensitive Exchange Group Members” Who really sits in the most privileged Exchange groups: a Tier‑0 foothold. Tenable IoE “Exchange Permissions” Risky ACLs where Exchange rights bleed into domain control. Entra ID Tenable IoE “Users Allowed to Join Devices” Tenant setting that lets any user enroll a rogue workstation. Tenable IoE “Managed Devices Not Required for Auth” Conditional‑access gap allowing unmanaged logins. Tenable IoE “Auth‑Methods Migration Incomplete” Legacy authentication policy is still exposed. Tenable IoE “Dangerous Application Permissions” Third‑party app scopes that can exfiltrate data. Tenable IoE “Risky Users Without Enforcement” Risk‑based access policy missing for high‑risk accounts. Tenable Cloud Security Reminder: Tenable Cloud Security requires you to log in to view documentation. To access the documentation or try Tenable Cloud Security, contact your account manager or request a demo. Enhanced CVE detection and customizable severity metrics Tenable Cloud Security now enhances CVE detection by integrating Tenable's vulnerability logic, leveraging the Tenable vulnerability data lake (TVDL) and Nessus. This improves accuracy and coverage in detecting new CVEs regardless of National Vulnerability Database (NVD) delays. The integration aligns CVE detection between Tenable Cloud Security and Tenable Vulnerability Management, reducing inconsistencies and boosting reliability within Tenable One. Users can select which CVE severity metric to display first: CVSS (static) or VPR (dynamic, factoring exploit likelihood). The metric chosen as primary impacts finding creation: severity changes can cause related findings to open or close. Just-in-time by resource groups and recurring access Thanks to your feedback, Just-in-Time (JIT) access is now even more powerful and flexible. Azure users can request access at the resource group level, not just by subscription, giving you greater granularity and control across your cloud environments. And for all JIT users, building on existing immediate/scheduled access request support, we’ve added recurring access scheduling — to better support business workflows, such as a contractor needing project access for a specified repeat duration or the need for access to a routine audit that lasts a full quarter. Easily set daily, weekly or monthly schedules with end dates — all through an intuitive UI. Consider using recurring access to replace standing permissions that some JIT users may still have, for more granular time-bound least privilege. Powerful Tenable cloud vulnerability insights within ServiceNow Tenable now integrates with ServiceNow’s new Vulnerability Response platform, enabling you to seamlessly import prioritized, actionable vulnerability data directly into ServiceNow. This streamlined integration, which also supports government environments, helps teams focus on what matters most by aligning Tenable findings with your existing remediation workflows, making it easier to act fast on critical risks. Already using ServiceNow ticketing? You can now sync Tenable findings with ServiceNow incidents, mapping severity and status to priority and state (such as open findings to new incidents). Note: Syncing incident states requires additional permissions and configuration within ServiceNow. Selectively scan data resources by exclusion tags You can now add exclusion tags to fine-tune scans of both managed databases and object storage in Tenable Cloud Security. Exclusion tags enable you to scope out resources starting from the next scanning cycle by specifying tags as configured at the resource level, for tailoring scans to your environment. This new capability helps you decrease costs by reducing unnecessary resource usage. Object storage comes to OCI As part of our growing capabilities around Oracle Cloud, Tenable Cloud Security now offers data analysis of object storage buckets in OCI. Out of the box, the feature is on a par with all other object storage that Tenable Cloud Security supports and is part of routine CSPM onboarding. In other updates, new dynamic scan scoping by tag is also supported for OCI. Tenable Vulnerability Management (TVM) Tenable Data Stream (TDS) now supports the streaming of TVM Host Audit Findings data as well as WAS assets, tags and findings data. TDS already supports TVM host assets, tags and vulnerabilities data streaming to AWS S3 buckets and is used by some of the largest TVM customers. Learn more about TDS here. Besides the new payloads, there are a few more improvements: Additional new fields in TVM findings payload like Resurfaced Data and Time Taken to Fix Grouping of the files written in the AWS S3 buckets is now based on timestamp, resulting in fewer files written, which in turn improves consumption and reduces latency. (Previously, this was based on both scan ID and timestamp, which resulted in writing a large number of small files.) Tenable Patch Management Tenable Patch Management now supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) We’re excited to announce that Tenable Patch Management (On-Prem) 9.2.967.20 now supports RHEL 8 and RHEL 9. This release also includes performance improvements, bug fixes, and an important security update to Java 17 JRE. Please note that Patch Notification Bots using WhatsApp require review and modification as they can no longer be combined with other providers. Please visit here for a list of third-party applications covered. Note: We are always adding more. For more information, please read the Tenable Documentation and Release Notes and visit the Downloads Portal for the latest version. Tenable OT Security Upgrade to Tenable OT Security 4.2 to unlock new layers of visibility across your OT/IT environment. Key enhancements in this release include: Advanced SNMP-based asset discovery: Gain deeper OT network topology insight. Our new SNMP Crawler discovers and maps all connected devices and switches, including previously hidden ones, down to the specific switch port. Intelligent hardware lifecycle management: Proactively manage obsolescence with EOL tracking for OT/IoT assets from vendors such as Schneider Electric and Siemens, complementing existing software EOL capabilities. Flexible Windows-based deployment (beta): Install OT Security sensors directly on Windows devices — ideal for segmented subnets or where deploying dedicated physical hardware appliances isn’t feasible. Enhanced IoT & VMS risk insights: With improved IoT connectors and expanded VMS support through enhanced credentialed authentication, extract richer data from IoT devices and VMS (including asset names, models and stream details). Navigation enhancements: A redesigned main menu and intuitive side panel simplify access to critical OT data, speeding workflows and improving usability.
