Nessus is een securityscanner die een netwerk kan scannen op bekende exploits en openstaande services. Resultaten kunnen vervolgens in verscheidene rapporten weergegeven worden. Ook kan de software geïntegreerd worden met andere pakketten, zoals CyberArk voor credentialmanagement en mdm-software van Microsoft, Apple, MobileIron en AirWatch. Nessus wordt in drie verschillende smaken uitgegeven: de gratis te gebruiken Home-editie, en de betaalde Professional- en Manager-edities. Tenable heeft Nessus 8.2.0 uitgebracht met de volgende aanpassingen:
New Features
The following are the new features included in the Nessus 8.2.0 Release:Bug Fixes
- Scanner Health Page: We recently completed our 4th annual Tenable INIT conference, where each year teams assemble for creative problem solving and a bit of fun. This new capability is a direct output of that event. The Scanner Health page is the first step to providing users scanner information, including real-time insight into health and performance data on a local scanner.
Examples of details a user can view include host stats; memory and CPU usage as well as application-specific stats including the number of scans running and the number of assets being scanned.- Nessus Pro/Manager to Tenable.io Migration: For some users, there may come a time when they want to move to the Tenable.io platform. For those users, we have now automated this process. We are allowing customers who are using Nessus Professional or Manager to migrate their configuration easily into Tenable.io.
- Additional improvements include:
- Exposing additional audit trail configurations to advanced settings.
- Option to adjust log levels without requiring a restart of the service.
Nessus Service Bulletin - Upgrade your Nessus scanners by 1/31/19
- Resolved issue where plugin script timeouts were not working when set to 0.
- Resolved issue where Agents were receiving unexpected 500 Responses when connecting to Nessus Manager.
- Resolved issue where Audit scans were failing in Tenable.io when Asset Isolation was enabled.
- Resolved issue where diff CSV exports in Nessus Manager were blank.
- Resolved issue where large PDF exports were timing out.
As the number of published vulnerabilities grows, so the does the size of the Nessus plugin database. Currently, Nessus scanners test for over 100,000 different vulnerabilities. When the size of the plugin database grows beyond 2 GB, older versions of the Nessus scanner engine will no longer be able to compile the plugin database and will be unable to run scans and collect the vulnerability data from the assets in your environment.
We recommend that all customers review the version of Nessus scanners (Tenable.io, Tenable.sc, Nessus Pro) running in their environments. If you are running an affected version, we recommend you upgrade before 1/31/19 to a supported, unaffected version.
Versions Affected:Versions Unaffected:
- Nessus 6.x
- Nessus 7.0 through and including Nessus 7.1.2
Because compiling the plugin database is a Nessus engine task, all products that use the Nessus engine are affected. This includes scanners managed by Tenable.sc (formerly SecurityCenter), Tenable.io, Nessus Manager as well as Nessus Professional.
- Nessus versions 7.1.3 and above
- Nessus 8.x
