Tenable product update: Standardizing Tenable risk scoring
At Tenable, we are committed to providing the most accurate, defensible, and actionable view of organizational risk. To achieve this, we must continually refine the intelligence that powers your prioritization. On July 1, 2026, we are implementing a series of foundational updates to our risk scoring engines. As part of this update, you may see changes to your risk scores, depending on the Tenable product(s) you own. These changes simplify your workflow by standardizing scoring on a single, high-fidelity model for vulnerability and asset risk. The new standard for VPR For the past several months, many of you have utilized VPR (Beta) to gain deeper insights into exploitability. We are excited to announce that on July 1, this model will be promoted to the primary Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) across the Tenable platform. By standardizing on this advanced model, we are retiring legacy VPR scoring to ensure every customer benefits from our most sophisticated threat intelligence. The new version of VPR incorporates more threat intelligence and vulnerability metadata so that you can focus on the 1.6% of vulnerabilities that actually matter. Better context through enhanced asset classification Alongside the VPR update, we are enhancing our asset classification engine. This update improves how we identify the function and importance of assets across your entire attack surface, including Cloud, OT, and third-party devices. As a result, customers with access to Asset Criticality Ratings (ACR) will see these scores more accurately reflect real-world business risk. What this means for you These are backend enhancements designed to provide immediate value with zero manual configuration. On July 1, your dashboards, reports, and APIs will automatically reflect these updated metrics. Because both VPR and ACR serve as inputs to Cyber Exposure Score (CES) and Asset Exposure Score (AES), customers using these scores may see changes that reflect a more accurate understanding of exposure. Customer FAQ What happens to the VPR (Beta) score in the Tenable UI? The Beta label will be removed. The high-fidelity model you’ve been previewing will become the standard VPR. The legacy version of VPR will be retired to ensure a single, unified source or truth. Do I need to rewrite my custom API scripts using VPR? No. For customers using APIs, updated values will be mapped into legacy VPR fields on the back end to ensure compatibility and a smooth transition for your scripts and third-party tools. How does this affect my SLAs? Because many organizations use VPR as their operational prioritization layer, your SLA statistics and remediation tracking will now reflect the more precise scoring model. This helps ensure your team is meeting response goals for the vulnerabilities that pose the highest actual risk. How does Enhanced Asset Classification affect my scores? The system now automatically identifies the function and criticality of assets across Cloud, OT, and third-party sources. This improved context leads to more accurate Asset Criticality Rating (ACR) adjustments. For customers with access to ACR, this ensures your most critical business assets are effectively prioritized. For a detailed guide on our enhanced VPR, check out this FAQ. Want to see the why behind our scoring? View our scoring explained.

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.
