Tenable integration
Sync your complete vulnerability and asset inventory from Tenable to keep Axiom continuously updated with security findings and device intelligence.
What it connects
- Asset inventory with complete metadata including hostnames, IP addresses, operating systems, cloud instance IDs, and network classifications, automatically enriching Axiom with discovered devices and endpoints.
- Vulnerability findings linked to specific assets, including CVE data, CVSS scores, severity levels, and plugin output, giving you a real-time view of security risks across your infrastructure.
- Asset tags and criticality scoring (ACR scores) that represent your organizational context, enabling you to track asset importance and apply business-aligned tagging directly to your inventory.
- Incremental sync support with time-based filters to pull only updated assets and newly discovered vulnerabilities since your last sync, reducing data transfer and keeping Axiom current without full re-imports.
What it automates
- Import and bulk-move assets between networks to reorganize your infrastructure and keep network segmentation synchronized with your security topology.
- Tag assets at scale and manage asset criticality scores so teams can automatically categorize devices based on security policies and business importance.
- Launch and stop vulnerability scans on-demand, enabling automated security assessments triggered by workflows or policy changes without manual scanner interaction.
- Create vulnerability recast rules and exclusions to override plugin severity assessments and mark scanning blind spots, ensuring your vulnerability data aligns with your risk acceptance policies.
In practice
- Automatically populate Axiom with discovered assets from Tenable scans, then use those assets to trigger compliance workflows that validate patching status and security configurations across your estate.
- Pull high-severity vulnerabilities and asset criticality data, then automatically create security incidents and assign them to teams based on asset importance, ensuring urgent risks get immediate attention.
- Sync asset tags and network assignments from Tenable to Axiom, then launch targeted scans on updated assets in specific networks to continuously validate that security controls are effective as your infrastructure changes.
- Integrate vulnerability findings with Axiom to automatically identify assets with unacceptable risk levels, then trigger orchestrated remediation workflows that apply patches, update firewall rules, or isolate at-risk systems.
