Майстер-клас: секрети випікання найсмачніших млинців!

28.05.2024

In today's landscape, characterized by complicated systems, expansive attack surfaces, and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, vulnerability management emerges as essential in safeguarding information and network resources. This is particularly crucial for Security Operations Centers (SOCs) tasked with monitoring and responding to potential threats.
Amidst such conditions, a notable product that stands out is Tenable's comprehensive and multifunctional solution. This integrated platform offers various tools for real-time vulnerability detection, analysis, and remediation recommendations.
Tenable excels in automating scanning and vulnerability assessment processes through diverse techniques, including active and passive scanning, configuration and resource analysis. The platform effectively identifies risks by leveraging various research methods, including open-source and proprietary research data. Tenable's focus on proprietary data significantly influences outcomes, response times, and distinguishes it from other market players. This is corroborated by both global analysts and clients themselves, who opt for Tenable products.
Upon discovering vulnerabilities, Tenable thoroughly analyses each issue, encompassing threat level assessment, potential consequences, and resolution recommendations. This aids organizations in prioritizing vulnerabilities and implementing necessary measures to minimize risks.
Furthermore, Tenable boasts built-in support for integration with various security tools, including Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, streamlining interaction between different security infrastructure components. These technical capabilities make Tenable a robust tool for continuous security monitoring and effective vulnerability management in modern organizations.
This article is part of a series that describes in detail the functional capabilities of Tenable solutions, usage scenarios, and advantages of this platform for organizations seeking to optimize their cybersecurity processes.

About Tenable Security Center

Tenable Security Center+ (Tenable.sc+) is a comprehensive enterprise platform and on-premise solution for vulnerability management. With it, cybersecurity experts can scan all local network components, gaining full visibility of the attack surface and managing associated cyber risks.
Tenable Security Centre identifies vulnerabilities and provides greater flexibility and visibility in all local and hybrid environments through integration with another product—Tenable One. This includes enhancing security by increasing coverage and better understanding of network-related risks.
The Tenable.sc+ solution also encompasses integrated web application scanning functionality, which is part of the platform. This coverage enables companies to detect vulnerabilities not only in traditional IT assets but also in web applications.
With a proactive approach to risk management, Tenable.sc+ identifies existing vulnerabilities and provides specialists with tools to anticipate potential threats and prevent incidents before they occur.

Features of Tenable Security Center+

Role-Based Access ModelTenable.sc+ incorporates a flexible role-based access model, allowing organizations to manage user rights according to their roles and level of responsibility.
Customizable Monitoring DashboardsTenable.sc+ monitoring panels can be fully customized to address the specific needs of a company. They enable grouping, visualization, and analysis of collected data for informed decision-making.
Enhanced Analytics with Nessus Sensor DataTenable.sc+ utilizes advanced analytics to consolidate and analyse vulnerability data obtained from various Nessus sensors within the company's system.
Alerting and Rapid Response SystemThe alerting system in Tenable.sc+ has the capability to configure automatic actions and notifications, alerting professionals about critical security incidents.
Asset Grouping and Real-Time AssessmentTenable.sc+ allows companies to group assets according to established security policies and conduct assessments in real-time.
Compliance with Regulatory RequirementsThrough built-in templates and reports for scanning, Tenable.sc+ assists companies in adhering to regulatory acts and international standards.
Integration with Other Systems and SolutionsThis product can be easily integrated with other systems and solutions, such as patch management, mobile device management, as well as cyber threat intelligence and analysis systems.

Tenable.sc+ Modules

Management Console — Tenable.sc+ Console
This web interface facilitates the management of all system functions. Organizations can orchestrate system operations through the console, visualize data via dashboards, and manage configurations.

Active Scanner — Nessus Professional

With this tool, organizations can conduct vulnerability scans and identify standard passwords across a specified range of IP addresses of IT assets (across various operating systems and applications), including software flaws, patch absences, and misconfigurations. Nessus Professional boasts the highest accuracy among scanners in its class worldwide and delivers the fastest plugin release time upon discovering a new vulnerability (up to 24 hours). It has tracked over 72,000 new vulnerabilities (CVEs), and its database contains over 174,000 ready-to-use plugins for vulnerability detection and remediation.

Passive Scanner — Nessus Network Monitor (NNM)

This passive scanner monitors network traffic at the packet level. It detects vulnerabilities, tracks changes in IT infrastructure, hosts' behaviour, identifies unknown resources, and signals changes in application behaviour and the emergence of new threats, such as botnets. The module maps relationships between hosts and their network connections by identifying vulnerabilities.

Agent Control Module — Nessus Agent Manager

For scanning vulnerabilities in environments with high security requirements and access complexities, Nessus Agents enable scanning without direct connection to the central server. Agents are installed locally on hosts and perform scans, sending results back to the Nessus Agent Manager. This provides high flexibility in scans with minimal impact on network performance.

Agents also enable large-scale simultaneous scanning with minimal network impact.
Agents provide access to vulnerability scanning and configuration assessment for:● Transient systems, such as laptops, that are frequently disconnected from the network during traditional scans.● Systems connected via limited bandwidth connections or through complex, segmented networks.● Systems lacking security team data necessary for authenticated scanning.● "Delicate" systems that are vulnerable to scans with traditional methods.

Tenable.sc Director

This tool facilitates centralized management of multiple Tenable.sc+ consoles, efficiently combining human and technical resources during large-scale deployments and intricate integrations. It allows monitoring of Nessus scanner statuses and versions, zones and scan results, plugin sets, and their descriptions from each Tenable.sc instance.
