Tenable Enhances Nessus Risk Prioritization to Help Customers Expose and Close Exposures
04 September 2024 - 3:00PM
Tenable®, the exposure management company, today announced new risk
prioritization and compliance features for Tenable Nessus, the #1
vulnerability assessment solution in accuracy, coverage and
adoption. Nessus supports new and updated vulnerability scoring
systems—Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) and Common
Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) v4—to help customers implement
more effective prioritization for risk reduction and maintain
compliance.
Due to evolving threats and expanding attack surfaces,
organizations rely on multiple risk scoring systems, which are not
effective risk qualifiers on their own to determine criticality.
With Tenable Nessus, customers can take advantage of the latest
industry-adopted vulnerability scoring systems—EPSS and CVSS v4—and
Tenable Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) to identify and take
action on the vulnerabilities that pose the greatest risk specific
to their environment. Leveraging an advanced data science algorithm
developed by Tenable Research, Tenable VPR combines and analyzes
Tenable proprietary vulnerability data, third-party vulnerability
data and threat data to effectively and efficiently measure
risk.
“EPSS and CVSS are single variables in the risk equation—context
around exposures delivers a deeper level of understanding around
true risk,” said Shai Morag, chief product officer, Tenable.
“Recent Tenable Research found that only 3% of vulnerabilities most
frequently result in impactful exposure. We’ve optimized Nessus to
meet the evolving needs of our customers, empowering informed
vulnerability prioritization strategies to address these critical
few.”
Key features in this release include:
- EPSS and CVSS v4 Support enables users to see
and filter plugins by EPSS and CVSS v4 score, further informing
prioritization strategy. This feature enables security teams to
remain compliant with organizational policies that require the use
of EPSS or CVSS as the primary scoring system.
- Nessus Offline Mode addresses challenges with
conducting vulnerability scans offline in air-gapped environments.
Building upon existing offline scanning capabilities, Nessus runs
critical services only, removing unwanted traffic generated by
functions that rely on an active internet connection, thereby
ensuring the security of sensitive data within a secure
environment.
- Declarative Agent Versioning On-Prem enables
users to create and manage agent profiles in Nessus Manager for
Tenable Security Center. Users can specify a product version for an
agent deployed in an environment, thereby reducing disruptions in
day-to-day operations and enabling users to adhere to enterprise
change control policies.
