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.

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.
