Tenable.sc (formerly SecurityCenter) and
Tenable.io to continuously discover and
assess known and unknown assets across
on-premises and cloud environments from a
single platform at no extra charge.
These innovations are based on Tenable’s
industry-leading Nessus Network Monitor
(NNM) for passive network monitoring,
which has been a pioneer in continuous
monitoring for over 10 years with one of the
industry’s broadest asset coverage.
With this announcement, Tenable
enables customers to not only automatically
detect every asset across their computing
environments, but also assess them for
vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
This new functionality is available in the
base Tenable.sc and Tenable.io products,
eliminating the need for multiple
applications and data silos.
Security teams often struggle to
identify all assets in their purview given
the dynamic and transient nature of
technologies such as mobile devices,
containers and cloud instances. This lack
of visibility widens the cyberexposure
gap, increasing the chances of a business-
disrupting cyber event.
Tenable has unveiled the following
native capabilities to address the rogue
asset challenge:
NNM Discovery Mode: Customers can
use NNM within Tenable.io and Tenable.

sc to continuously monitor their networks
to discover rogue assets without the
need to consume a product license.
This capability will help security teams
eliminate blindspots due to previously
unknown assets or new assets added to
the network between scans. This capability
will be available in Tenable.sc and Tenable.
io in 2019.
Rogue Asset Automatic Assessment:
Customers can automatically assess rogue
assets without manual intervention by
enabling security teams to define their own
policies for scanning newly-discovered assets.
This will help organisations improve their
overall security posture while decreasing
operational costs of manual processes. Rogue
Asset Automatic Assessment is generally
available in Tenable.sc and will be available in
Tenable.io in Q3 2019.
Tenable Cloud Connector Auto-
Discovery: Tenable Cloud Connectors
provide live visibility into AWS, Azure
and GCP cloud workloads as they are
continuously deployed and turned off.
With Auto-Discovery, customers can
automatically collect and track assets
from all member accounts associated with
the master account without any manual
intervention to ensure full visibility across
cloud environments. Auto-Discovery is now
generally available in Tenable.io.
“A strategic cyberexposure programme
provides unified visibility into where all
assets are located and to what extent
they’re exposed, which is increasingly
difficult to do with transient devices
like cloud, mobile and IoT,” said Renaud
Deraison, CTO, Tenable.
“We are committed to helping customers
on their cyberexposure journey to provide
complete visibility across their attack surface,
including both known and unknown assets,
ultimately eliminating dangerous blind spots
before they can be compromised.”
