Information from the Tenable Nessus Agent, as far as I'm aware, is only available when using the Nessus Client command line application (NessusCli.exe). In this post, I'm going to show how we can capture this with PowerShell. I'm going to walk through how I do this step-by-step. If you're looking for just the script, …

Inspired by this post on TechNet and trying to help out someone on the WinAdmins Discord, I took a bit of a dive into the v_Update_ComplianceStatus view and how it compares to v_Update_ComplianceStatusAll. The v_Update_ComplianceStatus & v_UpdateComplianceStatus Views I cover these views together because they are the …

In this final page of the series, I'll list out some other resources that might be helpful now that you have a working Certificate Authority.

In this post, we're going to stand up the issuing CA. There's no rule that says your issuing CA needs to be the child of a Root CA owned by Google. If you already have an internal Root CA, you could submit the certificate request to that root, however that is outside of the scope of this post.

In this post we're going to talk about the operational work associated with managing the Microsoft CA. There are three things we'll touch on here. First, manually updating your Root CA CRL which should be done based on how you setup your CA. In this lab, that would be at least once every 6 months. Second, we'll talk about how to approve pending certificate requests. Finally, we'll cover how to revoke certificates that either no longer required, or that may have become compromised.

Google currently offers cloud based Certificate Authority in their suite of services available to enterprises. In this post, I'm going to stand up a new Root CA in the Google Cloud Platform.

In this post, we'll discuss how to use the Certificate Enrollment Web Interface that we installed back in Part 2 of this series. The web interface doesn't seem to be widely used since the Certificates MMC snap-in does most of the work, but it's useful to know it's there.
