Tenable has added two Plugin Download Concurrency global settings to Tenable Vulnerability Management: one for linked Tenable Nessus scanners and one for linked Tenable Agents.

When enabled, this setting determines how many linked Tenable Nessus scanners or Tenable Agents can download plugins from Tenable Vulnerability Management at the same time. This can help with managing network bandwidth and preventing resource exhaustion due to large-scale updates.

Note: This setting only applies to Tenable Nessus scanners on versions 10.10.0 and later and Tenable Agents on versions 11.1.0 and later.

For more information, see Manage Linked Scanners and Modify Global Agent Settings in the Early Access Tenable Vulnerability Management User Guide.

Tenable has added the CPU Utilization Controls setting to agent profiles in Tenable Vulnerability Management.

When enabled, this setting allows you to configure the maximum percentage of a host's CPU that a Tenable Agent can use when installed on Windows or Linux hosts. This allows you to manage the performance impact of agent scans on critical host systems.

Note: Agents on versions 11.1.0 and later support CPU Utilization Control. Agents installed in macOS environments do not support this setting.

For more information, see Manage Agent Profiles in the Early Access Tenable Vulnerability Management User Guide.
