Nessus Leverages Threat Intelligence from ThreatGRID

Tenable released a new Nessus® plugin – Microsoft Windows Known Bad AutoRuns (Plugin id 74442), which detects the presence of advanced malware on endpoints based on threat intelligence from ThreatGRID. The threat intelligence includes Scheduled Tasks, AutoRuns, and other Windows Registry entries that Nessus® collects while scanning endpoints and cross-references with data from the ThreatGRID feed.

Nessus and ThreatGRID

Global Threat Intelligence

ThreatGRID combines advanced malware analysis with deep threat analytics and content to empower security teams to proactively defend against attacks and malware outbreaks. ThreatGRID analyzes millions of malware samples a month, harvested globally and generating terabytes of rich, actionable content every day, to provide customers unmatched scale and coverage from global threats.

Advanced Malware Detection Using Tenable Nessus® and ThreatGRID

This joint solution provides the following customer benefits.

Ability to Detect Persistent Malware

This solution allows customers to find systems that have been infected by malware, even when the malware is dormant (not running) during the time of audit.

Improved Quality of Malware Detection

Customers gain continuous real-time threat intelligence enriched by global and historical context. Nessus leverages this threat feed to improve the quality of detection of new forms of malware, beyond file signature hashes.

Conclusion

 

The addition of global threat intelligence from ThreatGRID gives the Tenable Network Security Products detections of malicious software that has not been classified or identified by traditional anti-malware solutions. The fact that this feed is updated frequently allows us to improve zero-day malware detection across all endpoints in a customer’s enterprise without updating any software on every endpoint. By including this additional data we are confident in providing network security staff increased security and comfort knowing that if anything slips past their dedicated anti-malware solution, they have a quality service providing a double check.
