We are pleased to announce the release of SecurityCenter® 5.5.2, which will deliver a number of exciting new capabilities. Here are some highlights:

Tenable.io™ Scan and Policy Templates allow you to set up scans with minimal configuration. There are templates for many tasks, such as Host Discovery, detecting the latest headline-grabbing malware, managing mobile devices and more. However, your network is constantly evolving. Eventually the predefined templates will not satisfy the needs of your network. With Tenable.io, you can optimize the management of your network’s cyber risk by designing and launching customized vulnerability scans that are tailored to your organization.

Once again, we have a basic failure in cyber hygiene causing a massive data breach.

A new critical vulnerability (S2-052) in the Apache Struts framework (CVE 2017-9805) could allow an unauthenticated attacker to run arbitrary commands on a server using the Struts framework with the popular REST communication plugin.
