Azure Overview

Connect your entire Azure organization (root management group) or individual subscriptions in Tenable One AI Exposure to get visibility and risk assessment for all resources associated with the subscriptions, including information about subscription usage and security configurations. Tenable collects inventory and configuration data from Azure APIs.

Identity-related visibility, such as users, permissions, and access relationships, requires a separate Microsoft Entra ID connection.

After connecting, Tenable displays a status for each subscription, indicating, for example, whether Tenable can connect to the account and helping you troubleshoot potential issues.

Connection Considerations

When connecting Azure to AI Exposure, it’s important to consider how your connection choices affect coverage and available insights.

Azure resource connectivity enables visibility into cloud infrastructure, configuration risks, and security posture. Connecting Microsoft Entra ID in addition to Azure enables identity-related visibility, including users, permissions, and least-privilege analysis, and provides a more complete risk assessment across your Microsoft cloud environment.

You can connect individual subscriptions or your entire Azure organization (root management group), depending on how your environment is structured and managed. Tenable recommends connecting the entire Azure organization and configuring Microsoft Entra ID to ensure comprehensive visibility across both cloud resources and identities, and to include all current and future subscriptions.
