Web App Scanning: Scan by Tag
Tenable has added support for scanning by tag in Tenable Web App Scanning. You can now dynamically target applications using tags when configuring scans, eliminating the need to manually define individual URLs for each scan.
Web App Scanning: Add Web Applications
Tenable has added a new Web App Scanning endpoint that enables you to manually create web application assets without initiating a scan.
Vulnerability Management: New Date Filters for List Scans
Tenable has added two new optional query parameters to the List scans endpoint to help you filter scan results by start time. These parameters enable you to retrieve scans that started within a specific time range, making it easier to query recent activity or list scans over a defined period. You can use these parameters individually or together to define an open-ended or bounded time range.
Vulnerability Management: Concurrent Update Settings for Sensor Configurations
Tenable is pleased to announce the availability of a new scanner configuration API, which enables you to retrieve and update global scanner configuration settings.
Vulnerability Management: Agent Profile CPU Limit Setting
Tenable is pleased to announce the addition of a new resources object to agent profile endpoints. This object supports resource configuration and consumption controls, beginning with the new cpu_limit parameter.
Web App Scanning: Schedule Windows
Tenable is pleased to announce the availability of schedule windows for Tenable Web App Scanning scans. Schedule windows enable you to define time frames during which scans run or pause at the individual scan level, independent of platform-wide scheduling settings. This update provides greater control over scan execution and helps better align scanning activity with production availability.
Vulnerability Management: List Available Profile Plugin Sets
Tenable has published documentation for a new Tenable Vulnerability Management API endpoint that returns a list of the latest plugin sets. The new List available plugin sets endpoint returns the latest plugin sets offered to agent and scanner profiles from the Tenable plugin feed over the past 30 days.
Attack Surface Management: New Filtering Documentation
Tenable has published new documentation to help you use filtering more effectively with the Attack Surface Management (ASM) API. The new Filtering page provides a consolidated reference for all supported filter types, columns, and behaviors, along with examples for building precise asset queries.
Vulnerability Management: Compliance Export Parallelization
Tenable has improved the performance and reliability of compliance exports by redesigning the export architecture to support parallelized chunk processing. Previously, compliance exports were processed sequentially, which could result in long completion times. With parallelization, exports now generate chunks more quickly and deliver results sooner.
Vulnerability Management: Scanner Profiles
Tenable is pleased to announce the release of scanner profiles. Scanner profiles provide the same functionality as agent profiles, but for scanners. The existing agent profile endpoints have been updated to support both profile types. These endpoints use a {sensor_type} path parameter to specify agent or scanner.
