About the Tenable connector

Tenable Vulnerability Management is a platform that helps organizations understand, report, and manage known vulnerabilities. When used with the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center, the Tenable connector:

• Creates a dynamic object with a list of IP addresses known to have Common Vulnerability Exposures (CVEs).

• Populates those IP addresses and associated vulnerabilities to the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center network map as host entries.

  Network map entries provide the basis for intrusion policy recommendations.

The dynamic object created by this connector can be used in access control rules, or anywhere dynamic objects are supported. For example, you can use the dynamic object to block vulnerable devices from accessing highly sensitive resources.

Supported products

We support Tenable Vulnerability Management only. We do not support Tenable Security Center.

Support for the Tenable connector with the On-Prem Firewall Management Center is currently limited to creating the dynamic object. The On-Prem Firewall Management Center does not receive network map entries from the Tenable connector, and therefore cannot be used with intrusion policy recommendations.
