Migration from Chef InSpec and AWS Inspector to Tenable Security Center

________________________________________________________________________



Summary

On *June 18th, 2024*, CMS Hybrid Cloud will decommission Chef InSpec and AWS Inspector in favor of adopting Tenable Security Center [ https://www.tenable.com/products/security-center ] as our official enterprise tool for vulnerability and compliance scanning. We will be releasing additional guidance in early June to help support our customers with this transition. In the meantime, please check out our related documentation such as how to view findings in AWS Security Hub [ https://cloud.cms.gov/working-with-findings-aws-security-hub ], and our introduction to the Tenable Security Center [ https://cloud.cms.gov/getting-started-with-tenable-nessus ], etc.

**Amazon Linux 2 (AL2), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL7), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (RHEL8)* customers may require 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.
