Migration from Chef InSpec and AWS Inspector to Tenable Security Center

________________________________________________________________________



Summary

On *June 18th, 2024*, CMS Hybrid Cloud decommissioned Chef InSpec and AWS Inspector to adopt Tenable Security Center [ https://www.tenable.com/products/security-center ] as our official enterprise tool for vulnerability and compliance scanning. Previously, we provided remediation guidance [ https://cloud.cms.gov/remediating-tenable-compliance-findings-on-pre-may-2024-gis ] to resolve any found findings as a result of this migration. Please review the remediation guidance if you still have persisting findings. Additionally, please check out our Tenable related documentation such as how to view findings in AWS Security Hub [ https://cloud.cms.gov/working-with-findings-aws-security-hub ], our introduction to the Tenable Security Center [ https://cloud.cms.gov/getting-started-with-tenable ], etc.

**Amazon Linux 2 (AL2), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL7), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (RHEL8)* customers do not need to take further action*. See the "Impact" section below for more information. 

Benefits

Tenable Security Center [ http://tenable.sc/Nessus ] greatly improves vulnerability and compliance coverage compared to AWS Inspector and Chef Inspec. Tenable Security Center offers longer term support, comprehensive coverage, and consolidates reporting with all findings now available to report in Tableau. Regarding cost savings, Tenable Security Center provides these improvements at a lower cost than previous tooling.
