*3/13/2025 - Tenable Security Center Minor Version Upgrade*

*Summary:*

Maintenance on Tenable Security Center tool for upgrade from v.6.3.0 to v.6.5.1.

*Actions we are taking:*

Minor version upgrade to Tenable Security Center

*When is this happening?*

Start Time: Thursday, 3/13/2025 at 11:00 a.m. ET
End Time: Thursday, 3/13/2025 at 6:00 p.m. ET

*Who will be impacted?*

All AWS Commercial, AWS GovCloud, MAG and DRaaS accounts; all customers using Tenable tool.

*What is the impact?* 

All customers may have scans delayed within all environments until the upgrade is complete. The customer impact to an outage is low as findings are still available in customer dashboards like Security Hub, Splunk, and Jira. Adhoc scan requests will be unavailable, but can be completed following a successful upgrade. Tenable scans will be halted until the upgrade process is complete. This change will occur during business hours to minimize the impact because most scans run outside of business hours.
