Aiden Technologies, the frontrunner in intelligent Windows endpoint automation, this week introduced an advanced rapid-response automation solution designed to address the widespread disruption caused by the recent Tenable Nessus plugin vulnerability. This critical issue has affected thousands of organizations worldwide, forcing IT teams to scramble as they manually update Nessus Agents and reset plugins on numerous devices.
In response, Aiden swiftly developed and deployed an intelligent automation system that allows IT teams to:
- Instantly apply the latest Nessus 10.8.2 update across all affected devices.
- Automate the tedious plugin reset process, which was previously done manually.
- Ensure seamless enterprise-wide compliance and functionality, without the need for physical or remote intervention on each machine.
“This incident with Nessus underscores the crucial role of intelligent automation in modern IT infrastructures,” said Joshua Aaron, CEO of Aiden Technologies. “Our solution acts as an ‘easy button’ for managing complex, large-scale disruptions like this. Within hours, our team rolled out a solution that eliminated the need for manual intervention on every individual machine — a task that would have otherwise taken days, if not weeks.”
Aiden’s customers are already benefiting from the swift deployment:
“Aiden Technologies saved the day when a problematic Tenable plugin caused widespread disruption. They quickly restored order, keeping our operations running smoothly. Just like during the CrowdStrike incident, Aiden turned what could have been a chaotic situation into one that felt controlled and efficient. They’re an invaluable partner when crisis strikes,” said Joel Odelson, Security Leader at Sunrun.
