INTEGRATION

Tenable

Enriching OT and IT asset visibility in Nozomi Vantage with asset inventory, software and vulnerability data from Tenable IO.

About
Tenable

Tenable IO is a cloud-based vulnerability management platform with continuous scanning, risk assessment and compliance monitoring. By integrating Tenable IO with Nozomi Vantage, security teams gain a consolidated view of managed assets across IT and OT environments — importing asset inventory, software and vulnerability data directly into Vantage. This enriches the asset registry with authoritative data from the Tenable management plane, accelerating incident investigation, reducing blind spots in critical infrastructure environments and enabling analysts to correlate vuln mgmt telemetry with OT network observations without switching consoles.

Features

Importer Data Types

Vantage imports the following from
Tenable IO
:
  • Asset Details Enrichment and Create New in Vantage

    Tenable IO supplies records including asset UUID, hostname, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, MAC, OS, system type, FQDN, tags and last-authenticated-scan timestamp — to enrich existing Vantage assets and create new asset records for endpoints not yet observed on the OT network.

  • Asset Software Inventory Import

    Tenable IO reports installed software detected by Nessus credentialed scans including product, version and publisher. This per-asset software list is imported into Vantage, giving OT security teams an authoritative view of what is running on each observed device.

  • Asset CPE and CVE Import

    Tenable IO produces plugin findings linked to CVE identifiers with CVSS v3 scores, VPR scores and remediation steps. These findings are imported into Vantage as CPE-correlated vulnerability records, enabling prioritized remediation tracking within the Nozomi asset context.

Joint Use Cases

  • Correlating Tenable signals with OT network alerts

    When Nozomi Vantage raises an anomaly alert for a device inside an OT segment, the analyst can pivot to the same asset's Tenable IO record in Vantage to review last scan date, open vulnerability count and highest-severity finding, all without leaving the Vantage investigation workflow. This cross-layer correlation surfaces whether a network-layer anomaly coincides with activity observed by Tenable, reducing the time needed to confirm or dismiss an incident.

  • Closing asset inventory gaps across IT and OT

    Devices recorded by Tenable IO but not yet observed by Nozomi network sensors are automatically created as new asset records in Vantage, populated with hostname, OS, FQDN, agent ID and last-scanned timestamp drawn from the Tenable management plane. OT operations teams can audit the resulting unified inventory to identify unmonitored or underprotected assets in industrial and critical infrastructure zones, then prioritize sensor deployment accordingly.

  • Prioritizing vulnerability remediation on critical OT assets

    CVE findings and severity scores imported from Tenable IO are surfaced alongside Nozomi's OT risk scoring for each asset, allowing security engineers to rank remediation effort by both vulnerability severity and the operational criticality of the affected device. This joint view enables compliance reporting workflows, such as IEC 62443 gap assessments, to reference both network-observed risk and Tenable-confirmed vulnerability data from a single Vantage dashboard.

Integration Prerequesites

  • Active Nozomi Vantage tenant with the connector-configuration role assigned to the administering account
  • Tenable Vulnerability Management (formerly Tenable.io) subscription with API access keys generated for an account with Standard or higher role
  • Tenable IO license tier and feature set that includes software-inventory collection
  • Tenable IO module or license that produces per-asset CVE findings enabled in the source tenant
  • Consistent hostname, IP or MAC addressing between Tenable IO-recorded assets and Vantage-observed assets to enable accurate asset correlation and deduplication
