Nessus has provided organizations with a wide variety of techniques for identifying vulnerabilities in your IT infrastructure. The foundation has long been proven, as Nessus will accurately identify vulnerabilities across the network, using credentials to gather patch level and other information, and assist with system hardening by performing compliance checks.
However, in recent years there have been significant improvements made to both the Nessus scanning engine and its feature set. Of course, over time Nessus has been able to consistently shave the time it takes to remotely scan systems and networks. In addition, Nessus has added support for threading and 64-bit platforms, and improved memory management. Alongside the continuous stream of performance improvements, we've introduced many new tools for the end user.
View the top 5 major new tools, in no particular order, that are now included with Nessus and SecurityCenter.

Late yesterday, Tenable announced SecurityCenter™ received a "Strong Positive" rating in Gartner's 2012 MarketScope for Vulnerability Assessment. The report provides guidance to security professionals evaluating options for vulnerability assessment. Gartner rates vendors based on evaluation criteria including market responsiveness and track record; product offering strategy; product functions such as base scanning methods, scope of vulnerability assessment, workflow and remediation support, and reporting capabilities; viability; and customer experience.

Today, Tenable announced the availability of a new edition of SecurityCenter, called Continuous View.
This edition of SecurityCenter uniquely encompasses both scanning and monitoring, with the inclusion of Tenable's Passive Vulnerability Scanner (PVS). That makes SecurityCenter Continuous View uniquely capable of addressing vulnerability, configuration, and compliance management requirements for emerging technologies like mobile devices, cloud-based services, social applications, and virtual systems.
The flexible licensing approach provided by SecurityCenter Continuous View allows enterprise customers to deploy PVS in much the same way as they do with Nessus within SecurityCenter, pretty much as many as needed.
Existing SecurityCenter customers can upgrade to a ContinuousView license and begin to enjoy the benefits of continuous monitoring with PVS. These include:

Few things spark your passion for information security the same way as a conference. It’s inspiring to talk to so many different people in the industry and listen to a variety of talks, all in one place. I had the chance to personally meet many readers of the Tenable blog and listeners of the Tenable podcast. I also heard some great talks as well. Here are some highlights.
I was really excited to see the folks on this panel come together and "talk shop." It’s a rare opportunity to see Jeff Moss (Dark Tangent), Adam Shostack, Marcus Ranum, Bruce Schneier, and Jennifer Granick all share the same stage! This did not happen by chance, as this panel brought back five of the original speakers Jeff Moss assembled at the first two Black Hat conferences held in 1997 and 1998.
I've had the unique opportunity to interview each of the 2012 panel members individually, so I was particularly interested to see how their thoughts, ideas, and opinions would converge. I was not disappointed. The topics ranged from software security, the government’s role in security, consumerism and how ease of use impacts security, the vulnerability market, and so much more. Jennifer Granick was an outstanding moderator (which was not an easy task by any stretch!).
The big question for me was, “What changed?” Jeff had a great anecdote. He said we don't really solve the problems, but we just run away from them and they seem to go away. We've just been able to run faster. I reviewed the topics presented at the first Black Hat conference in 1997, and I couldn't agree more. Vulnerabilities in TCP/IP, secure coding, and over-reliance on firewalls all made the list — topics we still discuss, and problems we still run from today.

Without question the security of mobile devices is on the minds of almost every IT department. The average mobile worker carries 3.5 mobile devices at all times, a number that has doubled within the past three years and will likely continue to grow. The problem most organizations face is the workforce uses mobile devices, whether owned by your organization or not, to access company resources. This presents several problems, including not knowing who is using which device, if the devices have the latest software updates, or if device has been tampered with (i.e., jailbroken).
Nessus has implemented new features to help users combat mobile threats. Network-based scanning is not the right approach to identify vulnerabilities on mobile devices, due in large part to the fact that most devices are in "sleep" mode and/or using a 3G/4G network. However, MDM (Mobile Device Management) technologies maintain information about the devices, including information about security vulnerabilities.
To learn more about detecting mobile device vulnerabilities with Nessus you can view a video tutorial on our YouTube channel:
The new "Mobile" tab in Nessus allows Nessus ProfessionalFeed customers to enter credentials for either (or both) Apple Profile Manager or Microsoft's ActiveSync. Nessus then uses the credentials to gather information about the type of device, who is using it, and mobile device vulnerabilities.
