Improved

  • Windows policy content. We updated our DISA Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 Member Server STIGs to version 3, release 7.

  • Linux policy content. We updated our DISA Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 STIG to version 3, release 15.

  • Site creation. We updated our site creation experience to simplify daily tasks and decrease the time it takes to start scanning for vulnerabilities.

    This update is part of an ongoing product experience transformation to enhance the performance, architecture, workflows, and usability of the Security Console.

    Benefits include:

    • A reduction in the time and effort it takes to create and manage asset groupings.
    • An autosave feature, which eliminates the need to save multiple components within a site.
    • UI improvements, aligning the overall user experience in Nexpose.

    This update is exclusive to English language locales for now, but will soon be available to all users.

Fixed

  • We fixed an issue that caused manually applied updates to not specify the correct scan engine version for Windows and Linux operating systems. Now, the correctly specified version is applied regardless of the Security Console’s operating system.
