Tenable Network Security Podcast Episode 178 - "PVS Free Trial, Control System Traps"

Announcements

Discussion & Highlighted Plugins

Passive Vulnerability Scanner (PVS) Update

  • At the recent Black Hat USA 2013 conference, we announced that PVS will be released as a standalone product, including a free trial. The interface was showcased at the Tenable booth on the show floor and met with a warm welcome. Users can interact with PVS using an HTML5 interface similar to Nessus. What are some of the most compelling use cases for PVS?

Industrial Control System (ICS) Honeypot

  • One of the most talked about presentations from Black Hat was given by researchers who created a fake ICS system, let attackers from across the globe "hack" it, and locate more than 70 different systems that fell into the trap. I believe this helps to raise awareness about security vulnerabilities in ICS systems and shows that attackers will take the opportunity to strike at these valuable targets. The question becomes: Is locating the attackers' systems against the law? Even better, is this valuable data?

Web Services Everywhere

  • One thing that always amazes me is just how many web services exist at any given time on an organization's network. While you must spend time analyzing the security of the applications you know about, you must also look at the web services that tend to hide on your network. So many devices and applications use web services for management, so the results can be overwhelming. Recently released SecurityCenter dashboards and reports help you get a handle on the different web services in your environment. Our products are able to collect detailed information about web services as they reveal information about themselves when you connect to the service, making it easy to identify, but difficult to keep on a leash. What types of web services are the most concerning in terms of a security threat, and what can you do about them?
