Maintenance

 

Every structure – physical or virtual – requires maintenance to maintain structural integrity over time. Even the most hardened infrastructure is subject to degradation with regular use. Tenable Security Center, Tenable Vulnerability Management and Tenable Identity Exposure provide comprehensive monitoring to detect drift from the desired state.

Administrator and user activity over time degrades security controls, if the system is not maintained properly. Regular scanning of the environment using the Nessus audit files identifies drift in security controls.

The following Indicators of Exposure (IoE) in Tenable Identity Exposure can be used to identify maintenance issues in Active Directory:

• Computers Running an Obsolete OS (High)

• Disabled Accounts in Privileged Groups (Low)

• Unlinked, Disabled or Orphan GPO (Low)
