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.

Fast-action remediation: Use the "If You Only Have 5 Minutes" widget to jump into the most urgent findings. Exportable reports: Generate professional-grade reports with one click to support audits and stakeholder communications. With Insights, security teams move from fragmented data to an actionable overview — saving time, reducing risk, and improving security posture. Check out the Tenable Identity Exposure user guide for more information. Tenable Cloud Security Reminder: You must be logged in to view Tenable Cloud Security documentation. If you need a login or wish to try Tenable Cloud Security, contact your account manager or request a demo. Just-in-Time (JIT) access is now available for all Tenable Cloud Security users. Tenable customers can use their existing (or future) Tenable Cloud Security license to enable and use JIT – with no separate procurement needed! JIT is automatically included with all existing licenses: Enterprise, Standard and CIEM. JIT eliminates standing permissions and reduces cloud risk with on-demand, time-bound access to cloud accounts and identity provider (IdP) groups. See the demo and explore use cases to understand how JIT works and streamlines approvals including by integrating with collaboration platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams. Unified search and in-product documentation—directly in the Console. Tenable Cloud Security now offers context-aware guidance in the Console, making it easier to find what you need. Queries in the search bar return results across all resources, policies, pages, documentation, and vulnerabilities. In-product documentation is now also accessible directly in the Console through unified search and contextual help links, providing context-aware guidance where you need it. See the documentation for more details. Define projects by resource tags and Azure resource groups. Building on the Projects feature announced in the March 2025 newsletter, Tenable Cloud Security now enables you to scope projects using resource tags (across all Tenable-supported cloud providers) and Azure resource group name patterns. This enhancement provides greater flexibility and granularity in organizing projects based on how your cloud environments are structured: by team, business function, or application boundary. The evolving Projects capability supports stronger cloud security maturity by reducing fragmented visibility and siloed inventories, with dedicated views of resources and security findings, and project-specific dashboards for each team. See the documentation for more details. Enhanced CVSS scoring support with CVSS v4 priority. When multiple CVSS versions are available for a vulnerability, CVSS v4 is prioritized to ensure the severity assessment is the most current and precise. It offers improved accuracy, flexibility, and contextual awareness, enabling better prioritization and automation than CVSS v3. Enhanced 3rd-party support for Microsoft Entra ID apps. Tenable now offers greater IAM visibility for Azure users through enhanced Microsoft Entra ID third-party application mapping, with support for more than 350 applications. From the third-party widget in the IAM Dashboard, you can select a vendor per cloud component and navigate directly to the Identity Intelligence page, filtered by that vendor. You can also now view vendor details for each application in the Microsoft Entra ID Application Inventory page, making it easier to manage third-party applications across your environment. >> To read the rest of the May newsletter, click here.
