Tenable Nessus Scanner: Elevated Security for Red Hat Environments

We're thrilled to announce that Tenable has achieved the prestigious Red Hat Vulnerability Scanner Certification, underscoring our dedication to providing customers with enhanced visibility into their Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems. Discover the significance of this certification and the advantages it brings to our valued customers.

Tenable proudly receives the Red Hat Vulnerability Scanner Certification, a testament to the rigorous testing and adherence to high standards as part of Red Hat's certification program. Whether as a standalone product or integrated into the Tenable Security Center and Tenable Vulnerability Management offerings, Nessus ensures robust vulnerability scanning capabilities.
 
This recognition follows closely on the heels of a commissioned study affirming Tenable's position as the leader in delivering swift and comprehensive coverage of CISA KEV vulnerabilities. The Red Hat certification stands as a significant milestone for Tenable, showcasing our unwavering commitment to providing customers with unparalleled visibility into their potential exposure.
 
Innovative Collaboration Fuels Success
 
Our collaboration with Red Hat Product Security since early 2020 has been instrumental in shaping best practices for vulnerability scanning of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) systems. This collaborative effort has yielded two crucial outcomes.
 
Firstly, through continuous iterative enhancements, we've refined our vulnerability detections for RHEL, aiming for the most accurate assessment of exposure. This includes minimizing false positives in RHEL systems by precisely correlating affected Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) versions through repository URL analysis, reducing noise in customer environments.
 
Secondly, by working closely with Red Hat's Product Security team to adopt the latest machine-readable security advisory intelligence standards, we've ensured consistent, swift, and accurate vulnerability detections. Our commitment to rapid response is evident, with vulnerability detection plugins often available within hours of disclosure.
 
Customers Can Trust Tenable
 
Tenable customers can trust that they are equipped with the latest vulnerability intelligence to safeguard their RHEL environments. The Nessus scanner, tested rigorously throughout our longstanding collaboration, adheres to Red Hat's high standards, encompassing:
 
1. Up-to-date coverage of RHEL vulnerabilities, addressing both common and emerging threats.
2. Accurate and reliable reporting, enriched by consuming, normalizing, and enhancing Red Hat Product Security vulnerability disclosure data.
 
Exposure Management with Tenable One
 
Tenable identifies vulnerabilities in RHEL systems through the "Red Hat Local Security Checks" family of vulnerability detections. Further context can be added to RHEL plugin findings through the Tenable One Exposure Management Platform.
 
Tenable One offers comprehensive visibility across the modern attack surface, enabling organizations to:
 
1. Gain holistic visibility across IT assets, cloud resources, containers, web apps, and identity systems.
2. Anticipate threats and prioritize preventive efforts effectively.
3. Communicate cyber risk for informed decision-making.

The Red Hat Vulnerability Scanner Certification signifies a robust partnership between Tenable and Red Hat, emphasizing both companies' commitment to assisting organizations in safeguarding their RHEL environments against evolving cybersecurity threats. This certification stands as a testament to our shared dedication to delivering excellence in vulnerability scanning capabilities.
