Nessus Leverages Threat Intelligence from ThreatGRID

Tenable released a new Nessus® plugin – Microsoft Windows Known Bad AutoRuns (Plugin id 74442), which detects the presence of advanced malware on endpoints based on threat intelligence from ThreatGRID. The threat intelligence includes Scheduled Tasks, AutoRuns, and other Windows Registry entries that Nessus® collects while scanning endpoints and cross-references with data from the ThreatGRID feed.
