Our Tenable Patch Management October release is live
Automated data retention, expanded macOS coverage, and core platform hardening. Patch data piles up, storage fills up, and admins get stuck running manual database cleanup just to keep consoles responsive. Meanwhile, new operating system updates hit your endpoints whether your patching tooling is ready or not. Patch management shouldn't require you to babysit backend storage or build custom workarounds for new OS releases. The October release of Tenable Patch Management [v10.2.973.18] automates data retention, adds native metadata support for macOS 27, and upgrades core underlying libraries. Here is what you get in this release: Automated data retention: you can now configure Tenable Patch Management to purge stale patch records automatically. SaaS tenants default to a 180-day retention window, and on-prem administrators can define custom retention policies to prevent database bloat without writing custom maintenance scripts. Expanded macOS support: We added complete metadata support for macOS 27. You can pull these endpoints straight into your existing patch policies and deployment schedules today. Core platform hardening: A patching platform has to stay secure from the ground up. This release updates key libraries—including OpenSSL (3.6.4), Tomcat (9.0.122), and Langchain (1.20.0). We also cleared out operational bugs, including a reboot loop impacting Linux clients on comma-decimal locales and an issue where recurring maintenance windows could loop indefinitely. Upgrade Path SaaS / Cloud: Your environment is already updated. No manual action is required. On-Premise: Server administrators can pull the latest installer from the Tenable Downloads Portal today.

OAuth is an optional connection type. Your current integrations will continue working with zero disruption, allowing you to update your setup whenever your team is ready. Read the release notes Tenable One Cloud Exposure Get visibility into Microsoft Entra Agent ID identities AI agents are being developed at a rapid pace and are becoming a new class of identities, giving security teams a way to see and govern them before they become a blind spot. Tenable One Cloud Exposure now supports Microsoft Entra Agent ID identities by automatically discovering and tagging agent identity blueprints, their principals, agent identities, and agent users. Security teams can discover more, catch more excessive privileges, and examine blueprints. Now, you can see these identities next to your other non-human identities in Tenable One Cloud Exposure. Why it’s important: Discovery and inventory: Auto-discovering and tagging each of the four object types, then listing them in the inventory, gives you a baseline of which agents exist and how they relate to each other. Permission and configuration auditing: Agents are often over-permissioned because it’s easier to grant broad access than to scope it tightly. Being able to inspect properties lets you catch excessive privileges, risky configurations, and ownerless agents. Hierarchy analysis and supply chain risk: Explorer queries let you trace blueprints to their agents (top-down) or agents back to their blueprints (bottom-up). That matters because one compromised or misconfigured blueprint, including one shared across tenants, passes the problem to every agent built from it. Read the blog Read the product documentation Tenable One OT Exposure Your OT and IT assets, one unified view Our latest Tenable One OT Exposure release brings OT assets, findings, and policy violations into the Tenable One platform through an updated data pipeline. You get one place to see and manage exposure across your converged environment. View OT assets alongside IT assets in a single, unified view, with no need to switch between tools to understand your full attack surface. Apply asset tags and role-based access control to OT assets, so the right teams see the right data and can organize and prioritize work the way you already do for IT. Connect OT findings and policy violations with data from other Tenable products to get context to understand risk that spans IT and OT. Assets, findings, and policy violations now flow through the updated Tenable One data format and APIs, replacing the legacy pipeline. Fixes and performance improvements: A range of bug fixes and performance enhancements make day-to-day use smoother. Update today to put these new capabilities to work in your environment. Explore the release notes Tenable Security Center Simplified deployment for shared database environments Our latest release delivers an enhanced database installer to ensure installation succeeds in environments with existing PostgreSQL schemas, reducing deployment complexity in shared database environments. Flexible PostgreSQL installation: The installer now handles non-empty public schemas that contain non-Tenable Security Center tables. This reduces deployment complexity and removes a common roadblock in shared database environments. Fixes for upgrades, scanning, and more: This release also includes bug fixes that improve upgrade reliability, scan accuracy, scan result cleanup, and query performance with certain HTTPS certificate configurations. Update today to apply these new improvements to your environment. Explore the release notes Tenable Nessus Tenable Nessus 10.12.5 focuses on plugin update security Tenable Nessus 10.12.5 was released on Oct. 1, with a focus on strengthening how Tenable Nessus handles plugin updates. Here are the highlights: Stronger plugin security: Multiple conditions related to memory-safety and denial-of-service conditions in plugins have been addressed. Plugin archives pushed through the legacy update channel now require a valid Tenable signature before they are extracted or loaded. Scan policy import fix: An SQL injection vulnerability in the scan policy import functionality has been resolved. Signature file required for manual plugin updates: Manual plugin updates for Tenable Nessus and Tenable Nessus Manager now require the signature file. Tenable Security Center plugin updates, Tenable Nessus Manager’s agent plugin updates, and Tenable Nessus application updates are not affected. If you update plugins manually, such as in air-gapped environments, please ensure the signature file is a part of your process. New platform support: Tenable Nessus now supports AlmaLinux 10. And much more. You can upgrade directly from any previously supported version. We recommend reviewing the notes for any versions you skip. Read the release notes Review the Tenable Product Security Advisory (TNS-2026-17) Tenable Patch Management Intelligent rollbacks, expanded Linux coverage, and hardened platform security You shouldn’t have to risk breaking critical applications just to keep your fleet secure.

Smarter rollbacks, broader Linux coverage, and uncompromising platform security. You expect your patching tool to resolve vulnerabilities, not create operational disasters. But when rolling back a patch rips out the entire host application, like Adobe Reader, you are left cleaning up the mess. We challenge the idea that rollback operations have to be risky. The September release of Tenable Patch Management [v10.2.973.13] is now available, delivering intelligent failsafes, expanded OS support, and hardened infrastructure. Here is what you get in this release: Intelligent, execution-time rollbacks: Uninstalling a patch should never compromise the underlying application. For software that notoriously removes the entire product during a rollback, we built execution-time discovery re-evaluation. Your client now actively checks the system state at the exact moment of execution, ensuring your rollback safely removes the patch without destroying the application you need to protect. Expanded Linux support: Your environment is complex; your patching strategy shouldn't be. You now have complete, native metadata support for Fedora 44 and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. Bring these endpoints into your standard deployment workflows immediately. Uncompromising platform hardening: A patching engine must be bulletproof. We updated key underlying libraries, including Tomcat, Log4j, and JRE, and fortified the platform itself. We eliminated token reuse in client MSIs, locked down client log directories to prevent unauthorized file access, and resolved root TLS trust issues. We secure our platform so you can secure yours. Upgrade Path SaaS / Cloud: Your environment is already updated. No manual action is required. On-Premise: Server administrators can pull the latest installer from the Tenable Downloads Portal today.

Welcome to your monthly round-up of the latest Tenable product updates, platform enhancements, and community news. This month, we’re bringing frontier AI reasoning into exposure management, deepening cloud and vulnerability visibility, and expanding how the community vets AI agents before deployment. Tenable One - Platform updates Claude Mythos 5 is coming to Tenable One with Adversary View Attackers don’t exploit systems in isolation. They chain together scattered, low-signal evidence like netstat entries, cached accounts, and active connections that traditional rules engines can’t connect, and that your team doesn’t have time to piece together manually. This is where frontier AI models shine. Tenable One Adversary View, launching this September, brings the power of Anthropic’s Claude Mythos 5 directly into the Tenable One Exposure Management Platform. Built on the Project Glasswing collaboration between Tenable and Anthropic, Adversary View applies advanced cyber reasoning to your existing exposure data, uncovering hidden vulnerability chains, visualizing how an attacker would actually move through your environment, and surfacing evidence-backed fixes to break those chains before attackers exploit them — all within an agentic harness that keeps the AI’s reasoning controlled and auditable. Take advantage of Claude Mythos 5 to tackle complex exposure management challenges. Cut through the noise with a ranked, prioritized list of the vulnerability chains that matter most, backed by evidence and specific remediation guidance. Move at the speed of adversaries by pairing Claude Mythos 5’s advanced reasoning with the exposure intelligence you already have in Tenable One — no new tools required. Read the blog post Explore the guided demo 3 new connectors bring GitHub and GitLab findings into Tenable One Tenable One connectors combine your third-party security tools with Tenable’s native sensor data for one view of risk across your attack surface. Three new connectors extend that coverage, pulling static application security testing (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), and secret scanning findings straight into Tenable One. GitHub Code Scanning: Consolidates SAST and secret scanning findings, covering both vulnerable code and exposed credentials, into the same risk view as every other exposure you track. GitHub Dependabot: Brings SCA alerts on vulnerable dependencies, so a flawed package deep in your supply chain gets prioritized against everything else exposing you. GitLab Connector: Covers SAST, SCA, and Secret Detection findings in one connector, consolidating what’s otherwise split across multiple tools into a single risk view. Requires GitLab Ultimate to ingest findings. All three are native connectors; add the connector, and findings start showing up in Tenable One. Set up GitHub Code Scanning Set up GitHub Dependabot Set up GitLab Connector CyberAgents Exchange Exchange Inspector vets AI agents before they reach your environment Tenable and OpenAI unveiled the CyberAgents Exchange AI Inspector, which pairs OpenAI’s GPT cyber models with Tenable One AI Exposure and expert researcher review to screen AI agents, skills, MCP servers, and multi-agent playbooks for prompt injection, PII exposure, and supply-chain risks before they’re deployed. Combines OpenAI GPT cyber models, Tenable One AI Exposure, and expert researcher review to vet AI agents before deployment. Screens AI agents, skills, MCP servers, and multi-agent playbooks for prompt injection, PII exposure, and supply-chain risks. Gives practitioners insight into production-ready AI agents and CISOs the confidence to approve their use. The Exchange Inspector builds on the CyberAgents Exchange registry, which has already drawn more than 100 AI listings. Exchange Inspector is expected to be available in September.

Read the Tenable One AI Exposure press release Tenable One Cloud Exposure Identify non-compliant post-quantum cryptography cloud resources Encrypted traffic captured today can be stored and decrypted later, once quantum computing matures, a threat known as harvest-now-decrypt-later (HNDL). Organizations relying on outdated Transport Layer Security (TLS) configurations or non-quantum-safe encryption are exposed to this risk without even knowing it. Tenable One Cloud Exposure now helps customers identify non-compliant post-quantum cryptography (PQC) cloud resources to support future compliance regulations. We’ve added four new properties to the Network Endpoint profile for HTTPS-supported endpoints. The enhancement allows teams to: Get visibility into quantum readiness: See which endpoints already support post-quantum cryptography and which don’t, so you can prioritize upgrades ahead of emerging compliance mandates. Get all non-PQC-compliant resources listed in one query. Identify weak encryption faster: Surface outdated TLS versions and vulnerable cipher suites across your environment without manual audits or separate scanning tools. Reduce HNDL exposure: Proactively harden key exchange methods and ciphers before intercepted traffic becomes a future liability. Gain compliance evidence: Customers in regulated industries, such as healthcare and financial services, can easily prove compliance as quantum computing matures. To find these resources in your cloud environment, go to Tenable One Cloud Exposure and filter or query “non-ready PQC resources” using the Network Endpoint page or Explorer. Check out other recent releases in the product documentation Tenable One OT Exposure Deeper IT/OT visibility for every corner of your environment Our latest release of Tenable One OT Exposure 4.7 expands visibility for grid operators and disconnected environments, and introduces a variety of productivity enhancements. OT agents for isolated networks: Get asset visibility and vulnerability coverage in air-gapped and disconnected environments (no sensors or live connectivity required) with offline scan profiles and a local agent UI for field technicians. Power substation anomaly detection: Passively monitors GOOSE streams and flags anomalous activity, such as configuration revision changes, giving utilities and grid operators critical visibility. Yokogawa DCS activity detection: Surfaces critical operational changes on Yokogawa Centum VP systems, so you can spot engineering activity that may signal unauthorized access. Centralized subnet management: Define CIDR boundaries and toggle monitoring across all ICPs from a single interface in Enterprise Manager, eliminating per-site configuration. Saved Views: Save, name, and reuse custom filter combinations across asset and findings views, cutting down repetitive setup during investigations. Asset side panel: Review asset details without leaving the findings or asset grid, for faster pivoting during investigations. Upgrade today to put these new capabilities to work in your environment.

Tenable Patch Management (v10.2.973.9) is now available for both SaaS and On-Premise environments. This release introduces real-time post-deployment rescan automation, broadening enterprise Linux package support, and hardening platform security. Here is a breakdown of key enhancements and updates included in this release. 1. Post-patch Nessus Agent scan triggers What’s new: Patch deployments can now automatically trigger a Nessus Agent scan the moment installation completes. This relies on a localized trigger file managed by the client. Why it matters: You do not have to wait for your next scheduled vulnerability scan window to verify that a patch took effect. The agent initiates a scan immediately, providing prompt confirmation that a CVE is remediated. Use case: Once a patching process completes on a client, the system creates or updates a specific file (default is patch_trigger), which prompts the Nessus Agent to initiate a Nessus agent scan. 2. Expanded fleet coverage and OS support What’s new: Added native support for Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) across supported Linux distributions, including RHEL, CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux, and Rocky Linux. Why this matters: You can patch community-maintained add-on software using standard patching workflows without writing custom repository scripts or manually handling updates. Use case: Admin utilities, extra developer libraries, and secondary tools pulled from EPEL stay updated on the same schedule as core operating system components. 3. Critical security & platform hardening What’s new: Default platform encryption is updated from AES-CBC to AES-GCM. Administrators can also provision additional trusted TLS certificates to clients directly from the management server. Why this matters: AES-CBC without message integrity checks leaves communications open to cipher-mode attacks. Moving to AES-GCM eliminates this vulnerability, while server-side TLS provisioning simplifies client trust updates. Use case: Meet strict enterprise cryptographic auditing requirements while seamlessly rotating endpoint TLS certificates directly from the management console. 4.

Check out our July newsletter to learn about the latest product and research updates, events, and educational content. Plus, this month we’re featuring the launch of the CyberAgents Exchange, powered by Tenable. Keep reading to read more about the new open-source AI exchange! Tenable One - Platform updates Integrate application security data into Tenable One for code-to-runtime security Your codebase is growing faster than your security program, and in the age of AI, developers are introducing security findings at 10 times the rate of their peers. It is critical to see code as part of your entire attack surface. Application security data now integrates directly into Tenable One to further close visibility gaps and ensure secure code development in the AI era. Whether code is human- or machine-written, you can now integrate application security risks, like those from Snyk, Claude Security, or any other application security tool via Tenable One Connectors — directly alongside your existing exposure data. What this means for you: Achieve full code-to-runtime visibility by bringing application security risks together with the rest of your exposure data in one place. Fix code flaws before they become incidents by identifying your most business-critical code flaws and fixing them early in the development lifecycle. Measure organizational exposure and transform technical static code vulnerabilities into clear risk metrics on business resilience. Read the blog post Explore the guided demo Check out Open Connector documentation and Snyk Connector documentation Improved workflow orchestration capabilities in Tenable One Vulnerability Management and Tenable One New enhancements to Tenable's workflow orchestration capabilities are now generally available. This release streamlines remediation workflows and improves operational efficiency with the following key updates: Plugin output in tickets: You can now attach Plugin Output directly to tickets, providing immediate context and critical information while eliminating the need for further navigation. Tenable Hexa AI for ServiceNow: You can now leverage Tenable Hexa AI for ServiceNow incident and initiative creation to match already available Jira functionality. Review the exposure management release notes Review the Tenable Vulnerability Management release notes Tenable unified scoring is now live Tenable has unified its risk prioritization standard, moving the high-fidelity Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) model out of beta to become the sole standard. To sharpen your prioritization, an updated asset classification engine also delivers more accurate Asset Criticality Ratings (ACR) for your assets. Because VPR and ACR feed directly into your Cyber Exposure Score (CES) and Asset Exposure Score (AES), your console will automatically update to reflect a precise understanding of your exposure. These recalculations occur automatically, though completion times depend on the size of your environment. To prevent errors in your saved views, you must manually update any filters or combinations that still use VPR v1. No data migration is required. Visit Tenable Connect for more details Learn more about Tenable One scoring The CyberAgents Exchange, powered by Tenable Tenable launches the industry’s first open-source AI exchange (and we want your agents on it) Security teams are building AI agents in isolation, reinventing the wheel with no neutral place to share what actually works.
