There are many consultants that use Nessus to scan a customer network for vulnerabilities and report a laundry list of security issues which need to be fixed. Another valuable service that can be performed by a consultant is to audit where sensitive data resides in an organization and what sort of access can be gained to it.

There are a few events occurring before the end of the year that Tenable will be participating in:
2007 DHS Security Conference and Workshop
Baltimore Maryland, August 27-30, 2007
I will be speaking at 3:45 this Monday, August 27 about how configuration management changes the way network security monitoring and incident response occur in non-obvious manners. Many of these sessions are only open to the US government.

Several weeks ago, a good friend of my family who is a lawyer for an application hosting company and I were speaking about network security and I brought up Nessus. "Can you scan one of our hosted sites?" he asked. A short while later, especially after asking the right sort of legal questions, we were looking at the results of a non-credentialed Nessus scan for a high traffic web site.
His web site didn't have any "application" content and hosted static HTML web pages. The only odd thing to note was an SSH server found on a very high port.
"Is that bad?" asked my friend.

The Office of Management and Budget recently released new configuration guidelines for Windows XP and Vista that all Federal agencies need to adopt by February 1, 2008. The guidelines are known as the "Federal Desktop Core Configurations" (FDCC) and have been published as part of the NIST Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) program.

"30 Days" seems to be the default amount of time organizations look for vulnerabilities to be patched by. Version 1.1 of the Payment Card Industry standard specifically states a 30 day time period. Of course the actual age of a vulnerability has nothing to do with how easy it may or may not be to exploit, but politically, old vulnerabilities can indicate broken policies, bad IT processes and lapses in compliance.

New Product Releases and Updates

I've been at several conferences and forums where a panel of CIOs or CSOs gives their guidance about enterprise risk and compliance reporting. When asked which products are up to the task, as each vendor in the audience is leaning forward on the tip of their chair hoping for a free product placement, the answer most commonly is -- Excel.
