Tenable, Tuesday, March 31st, 2026
Stop the noise and scale your cloud security. Our latest updates introduce custom policy automation via Explorer, AWS ABAC support for true least privilege, and research-backed protection against critical vulnerabilities, all designed to slash MTTR without disrupting your DevOps workflows.
Key takeaways:
Automated governance via Explorer: Harness the power of Tenable's unified data model, transforming any query into a permanent security policy or a scheduled report across all entities, such as resources, findings and vulnerabilities, with custom interval scheduling.
Research-driven intelligence: New insights from Tenable Research feature the discovery of novel critical vulnerabilities in Google Looker Studio and Google Looker, and a deep-dive into a recently identified malicious third-party npm package.
True least privilege via ABAC: Support for AWS ABAC ensures precision in permission evaluations - a critical requirement for securing the 18% of organizations with overprivileged IAM roles that AWS AI services can instantly assume.
Streamlined vulnerability patching: Tenable's unique plugin name and ID information is now integrated into vulnerability and workload profiles, eliminating manual research for DevOps teams.
